A condensed, heavyweight slab serif with squared-off terminals and largely uniform stroke thickness. Serifs are stout and block-like, often forming hard right angles that reinforce a rectangular silhouette. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, giving the face a dense, poster-forward color. The lowercase maintains tall proportions with sturdy stems and minimal curvature, while numerals follow the same blunt, built-up construction for consistent texture across mixed settings.
Well suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, branding wordmarks, storefront-style signage, and packaging callouts. It also fits athletic or event graphics where a condensed, powerful slab serif can carry across distance. Use it sparingly for emphasis and pair with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a rugged, workmanlike character. Its squared slabs and condensed rhythm evoke vintage signage and utilitarian printing, while still reading as modern and direct. The voice feels confident and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or refined.
This design appears intended as a strong display slab serif that maximizes impact in limited horizontal space. The squared serifs and tightly built letterforms prioritize presence and a bold, vintage-leaning attitude for titles, labels, and signage-style typography.
The compact internal space and strong horizontals create high visual impact at display sizes, but can look heavy in long passages or at small sizes where counters may close up. The shapes lean on straight segments and right angles, producing a crisp, mechanical rhythm that works best with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
