A condensed, monolinear slab serif with a tall, columnar build and flat, square-ended serifs and terminals. Strokes remain largely even, with corners tending toward squared geometry and only minimal rounding where curves meet stems. Counters are narrow and vertical, giving letters a tight rhythm and high economy of space, while the overall texture stays clean and consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where space is limited but a strong vertical presence is desired. It can work well for packaging, labels, wayfinding-style signage, and editorial titling that benefits from a technical or industrial flavor.
The tone is pragmatic and engineered, with an industrial, no-nonsense voice. Its narrow, upright stance and squared detailing suggest technical labeling and vintage mechanical printing, reading as efficient rather than expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, highly legible slab-serif voice with squared terminals and a disciplined, modular rhythm—optimized for attention-grabbing titles and space-efficient display typography.
Capitals feel rigid and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps the same condensed proportions for a uniform, systematized color. Numerals follow the same straight-sided logic, reinforcing a labeling/marking aesthetic and maintaining clear distinction at small sizes.
