A compact, condensed slab-serif with heavy, uniform stroke weight and squared-off terminals. Serifs are blunt and rectangular, with a strong, engineered feel and minimal curvature overall. The x-height reads tall relative to the caps, and the lowercase is built from tight apertures and sturdy bowls, producing dense word shapes. Curves (like C, O, S) are slightly squarish in their transitions, while verticals remain dominant, giving the design a firm, poster-ready rhythm.
Best suited to display typography where impact and solidity are priorities: headlines, posters, labels, packaging, and signage. Its condensed build supports tight layouts and stacked lines, and the heavy slabs hold up well in high-contrast applications such as screen graphics or print where bold shapes are needed.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, evoking vintage wood-type and utility printing. It feels no-nonsense and confident, with a subtle old-time, frontier or industrial flavor that reads well when set large and bold.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, condensed slab voice with a vintage-meets-utility personality—optimized for bold statements, compact setting, and a durable printed look.
The face maintains a consistent, blocky texture across letters and numerals, with a clear emphasis on vertical structure and tight spacing. The squared serifs and compact proportions create strong line integrity in all-caps settings, while the tall lowercase helps keep mixed-case text prominent and punchy.
