A condensed slab-serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and predominantly straight, monoline-like strokes. The letterforms favor compact proportions and tight internal spaces, with squared curves and flattened bowls that keep counters narrow. Terminals and joins are blunt and mechanical, and the overall rhythm is even and strongly vertical, producing a dense, punchy texture in text. Numerals follow the same blocky construction, with simple geometry and firm baseline/ cap alignment.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where a condensed footprint and strong serifs help maintain clarity. It also fits labeling, packaging, and signage-style applications that benefit from a sturdy, industrial voice and consistent, squared construction.
The font conveys an industrial, no-nonsense tone with a hint of vintage utility. Its squared slabs and compact width feel authoritative and workmanlike, evoking labeling, stamping, and rugged editorial typography rather than delicate book refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif look in a compact width, prioritizing firmness and economy of space. Its squared terminals and simplified curves suggest an aim for practical, high-impact typography that remains legible and consistent across mixed-case text and numerals.
In running text the narrow set and strong slab presence create a dark, compact color, especially in uppercase. Curved letters (like C, G, O, S) appear more rectangular than round, reinforcing the engineered, square-leaning character and a slightly compressed, poster-like impact.
