A condensed, high-contrast slab serif with strongly squared terminals and a tall, vertical stance. Stems are heavy and straight, while counters and joins stay crisp and geometric, producing a rhythmic pattern of narrow silhouettes and abrupt ends. Serifs read as thick, blocky slabs with minimal bracketing, and many curves are drawn with flattened arcs that reinforce a rectilinear, engineered feel. Numerals and capitals share the same compressed proportions and emphatic stroke endings for a consistent, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and impactful editorial display where a compact footprint and strong vertical emphasis are useful. It can also work well for packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a bold, utilitarian voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the crisp slab terminals and contrast remain clear.
The overall tone is forceful and disciplined, with an industrial, sign-painterly edge. Its square cuts and compressed rhythm evoke vintage utility printing, delivering a confident, slightly stern character that reads as mechanical and deliberate rather than soft or conversational.
This design appears intended to deliver a condensed display slab with a square-cut, industrial sensibility—maximizing presence in tight horizontal space while maintaining a sharp, structured rhythm. The geometry and abrupt terminals suggest a focus on bold communication, retro utility, and strong typographic texture.
In the sample text, dense word shapes and prominent verticals create a strong stripe pattern, especially in all-caps and mixed-case lines. The contrast between heavy main strokes and thinner interior strokes adds snap at larger sizes, while the tight proportions can make longer passages feel visually packed unless given generous tracking and leading.
