A tightly condensed slab-serif with tall proportions and emphatic vertical strokes. Serifs are blocky and square-ended, with minimal bracketing, creating a rigid, engineered silhouette. Counters are relatively narrow and apertures tend toward closed, while curves (C, G, O, S) keep a compact, squared-off feel rather than broad roundness. Overall rhythm is strongly vertical, with sturdy joins and a consistent, display-focused texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its condensed width and blocky slabs can maximize impact in limited space. It works well for posters, signage, packaging labels, and editorial display settings that benefit from a strong vertical texture and an industrial, vintage-leaning voice.
The font conveys a blunt, no-nonsense tone—industrial and authoritative—with a retro poster sensibility. Its narrow stance and heavy slabs create urgency and presence, suggesting utilitarian signage, headlines, and branding that needs to feel strong and direct.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, combining sturdy slab-serifs with a squared, mechanical finish. Its proportions and rigid terminals prioritize punchy legibility and a distinctive, poster-ready texture over extended reading comfort.
Uppercase forms read especially monolinear in impression, with flats and straight segments dominating. Lowercase maintains the same condensed backbone, with compact bowls and a tall, upright stance that keeps lines of text looking dense and graphic. Numerals match the set’s rigid geometry and high-impact weight, reinforcing a uniform, attention-grabbing voice.
