A condensed slab serif with tall proportions, minimal stroke modulation, and firmly squared, blocky serifs. Curves are drawn with a slightly rounded, mechanical feel, while terminals and joins stay crisp and rectilinear, giving the design a clean, engineered rhythm. Counters are relatively open for the width, and the overall texture is even and steady, with sturdy horizontals and consistent stem weight across the alphabet and figures.
Well-suited to compact headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where a strong, structured voice is needed without taking up much horizontal space. It also fits packaging, labels, and display applications that benefit from a stamped/typewritten or industrial impression, and editorial layouts seeking a crisp, tall, space-efficient slab serif.
The font conveys a practical, workmanlike tone with a clear typewriter and industrial signage flavor. Its narrow build and squared detailing feel no-nonsense and archival, suggesting printed labels, forms, and utilitarian editorial typography rather than delicate or expressive refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, space-saving slab serif with a straightforward, mechanical character. Its squared serifs, low-modulation strokes, and condensed proportions prioritize clarity and economy while projecting a confident, utilitarian presence.
Letterforms show a distinctive mix of rigid slab structures and softened curves that keeps the page color strong without feeling overly heavy. The figures follow the same condensed, sturdy logic, supporting compact settings where vertical rhythm and firmness matter.
