A condensed slab-serif with heavy, even strokes and unbracketed, square serifs that read as crisp terminals. The letterforms are tall and compact, with tight internal counters and a strong vertical emphasis. Curves are simplified and sturdy, and many glyphs show flat-ended joins and squared-off shoulders that reinforce a blocky silhouette. Overall spacing feels firm and rhythmic, producing a dense, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited for large sizes where its condensed, slabbed structure can deliver maximum impact—posters, event graphics, storefront signage, and bold packaging titles. It also works for short logotypes or badges where a compact, assertive wordmark is needed.
The design conveys a bold, old-time display tone with strong associations to wood-type-era printing. Its compact width and chunky slabs create a confident, slightly rugged voice that feels at home in headline-driven, attention-grabbing settings.
Likely drawn to echo classic slab-serif display printing, prioritizing compact width and strong, square serif terminals for immediate, authoritative readability in big type.
Uppercase forms appear especially architectural and poster-like, while lowercase remains similarly stout, keeping a consistent color across mixed-case text. Numerals are similarly heavy and condensed, matching the font’s signage-friendly stance.
