A compact slab-serif with heavy, squared-off serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The letterforms are tall and tight, with firm vertical stress, flat terminals, and a slightly condensed rhythm that packs words densely. Counters are relatively small and angular, and joins stay crisp, giving the face a sturdy, poster-ready texture. Numerals follow the same robust, squared construction for consistent color in mixed text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a firm, traditional slab presence is needed. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes that benefit from dense impact and a sturdy, print-forward feel.
The overall tone is strong and utilitarian, leaning toward vintage print and industrial signage. Its chunky slabs and compact spacing create an authoritative, no-nonsense voice that reads as confident and slightly retro.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space, combining strong slab serifs with a compact, condensed structure for bold, attention-grabbing typography.
In continuous text the dense texture and prominent serifs produce a dark, even typographic color, while the tight proportions emphasize verticality. The design favors clarity at display sizes, where its squared details and compact shapes feel deliberate rather than crowded.
