A condensed slab-serif with heavy, rectangular serifs and largely square-ended terminals throughout. Strokes are robust and even, with minimal modulation, creating a firm, poster-like texture and strong vertical emphasis. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend toward closed, while joins and corners read crisp and mechanical rather than calligraphic. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike structure with compact proportions, and the numerals match the same solid, blocky rhythm for consistent color in setting.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and packaging/label typography where a compact footprint and strong presence are desirable. It also works well for signage and bold editorial treatments that need a sturdy, print-forward voice in limited horizontal space.
The overall tone is utilitarian and no-nonsense, with an industrial, vintage-printed feel. Its dense build and squared details convey toughness and authority, suggesting signage, stamping, and old-school editorial headlines rather than delicate or quiet text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility in a condensed measure, pairing heavy slab serifs with squared, no-frills construction. It aims for a durable, industrial display voice that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The condensed width and strong slab serifs create pronounced horizontal accents at tops and bases, helping letters hold together in short lines and stacked settings. In longer passages the heavy color can feel insistent, favoring display sizes where the sturdy details and tight spacing read cleanly.
