A condensed slab-serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a tall, compact footprint. Strokes show clear vertical emphasis with moderate contrast, and terminals are crisp, giving the shapes a firm, printed texture. Counters are relatively tight and the rhythm is vertical and economical, while round letters stay narrow and upright. Numerals and capitals match the same compact proportions, producing a consistent, tightly set color in text.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and compact editorial settings where horizontal space is limited but a strong typographic voice is desired. It can also work for posters, book covers, and packaging that benefit from a vintage-leaning, authoritative slab-serif presence.
The overall tone feels editorial and slightly old-world, like workhorse type from newspapers, posters, or utilitarian signage. Its narrow stance and confident slabs add an assertive, industrial edge without becoming ornate.
Likely designed to deliver a space-saving slab-serif with a bold, traditional print feel—combining condensed proportions for efficiency with bracketed slabs for firmness and recognizability in display typography.
In the sample text, the face holds together well at larger display sizes, where the strong serifs and condensed proportions create punchy word shapes. The narrow set and tight interior spaces suggest it will look most comfortable with a bit of breathing room in tracking and line spacing when used in longer passages.
