A condensed slab-serif with tall, columnar proportions and compact sidebearings. Strokes stay largely even throughout, with sturdy slab terminals and subtle bracketing that softens the joins. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, giving the letters a squeezed, poster-ready silhouette; rounded forms like O/Q feel more like upright ovals than circles. The overall rhythm is strongly vertical, with small apertures and a dense texture that holds together in tight settings.
Works best for headlines, subheads, and display lines where space is limited but impact is needed. It also suits packaging, labels, and branding applications that benefit from a compact, sturdy wordmark presence and a vintage-industrial atmosphere.
The tone is sturdy and no-nonsense, with an industrial, turn-of-the-century poster flavor. Its compressed build and emphatic serifs create an assertive voice suited to headlines that need to feel firm, traditional, and slightly nostalgic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compressed width, pairing stable, slabbed terminals with a disciplined vertical rhythm for strong, space-efficient display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same condensed logic, and the numerals follow the same tall, narrow stance, supporting consistent typographic color across mixed content. The design reads most characterfully at larger sizes, where the slab details and tight inner shapes are clearly perceived.
