A compact slab-serif with heavy, squared-off serifs and blunt terminals that create a strong, blocky silhouette. Strokes appear largely even in weight with tight interior counters, giving letters a dense, sturdy texture. Curves are restrained and somewhat squared in feel, while joins and corners read crisp and deliberate. Proportions are condensed, with short extenders and a consistent, rhythmic vertical emphasis that holds together well in lines of text.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and display settings where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable. It can work well for signage, labels, and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, traditional slab-serif voice, and can also serve in short text blocks where a dense, authoritative tone is acceptable.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking industrial signage and traditional printed matter. Its compact build and emphatic serifs give it an authoritative, no-nonsense voice that can also lean into a vintage or collegiate flavor depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a condensed footprint, using strong slab serifs and blunt terminals to ensure firmness and clarity. Its restrained curves and consistent stroke weight suggest a focus on durability, readability, and a classic print-signage character.
The numerals and caps carry a strong, uniform color, and the lowercase maintains the same robust presence, producing a darker page tone at text sizes. The squared serifs and terminals remain visually consistent across straight and curved forms, reinforcing a cohesive, engineered look.
