A condensed slab-serif with tall, compact proportions and a strongly vertical stance. Strokes are heavy and fairly even, with squared shoulders and blunt, flat-ended serifs that read as small rectangular spurs on stems and crossbars. Curves (C, O, S) are tightened and slightly squared in feel, while counters stay narrow and tall, producing a dense rhythm. The lowercase is similarly condensed with short ascenders/descenders and simple, sturdy joins; overall spacing appears tight, favoring a poster-like color over airy text flow.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where a compact width and strong presence are useful—posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, labels, packaging, and bold wordmarks. It can also work for subheads or pull quotes when you want a dense, attention-grabbing texture.
The tone is firm and workmanlike, evoking industrial labeling, newspaper-era display typography, and pragmatic signage. Its compressed build and blocky slabs create an authoritative, slightly retro voice that feels direct and functional rather than refined or delicate.
The likely intention is a space-saving display slab that delivers maximum impact in minimal horizontal room, with robust, square-cut detailing for clarity at a distance and a distinctly utilitarian, vintage-leaning character.
The design maintains a consistent rectangular logic across terminals and serif forms, helping lines of text lock into a strong vertical texture. Numerals match the condensed stance and dark color, supporting clear, emphatic setting in short strings.
