A condensed slab-serif with tall proportions and a largely even stroke, giving it a clean, linear rhythm. Serifs are blunt and rectangular, with many strokes terminating in flat, squared ends that read as precise and mechanical. Curves are narrow and controlled, counters are tight, and joins stay crisp, producing a compact texture in words. The overall color is light but steady, with consistent vertical emphasis and restrained detailing.
It works best where space is limited and vertical presence is useful, such as headlines, subheads, posters, packaging copy, and signage. The condensed forms and square serifs also suit editorial layouts and branding systems seeking a compact, structured look.
The font conveys a utilitarian, editorial tone—orderly and workmanlike, with a subtle vintage/industrial flavor. Its narrow, upright stance feels disciplined and formal without becoming ornate, making it suited to information-forward typography that still wants character.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving slab-serif voice with crisp, squared terminals and a disciplined rhythm, balancing readability with a distinctly narrow, upright personality.
In the sample text, the condensed width creates an efficient line length and a distinctive columnar texture. Numerals and uppercase forms maintain the same tall, narrow cadence as the lowercase, supporting a consistent typographic voice across mixed content.
