A sturdy slab-serif with compact proportions and a dense, vertical rhythm. Strokes are broadly even with minimal contrast, and terminals end in pronounced, squared serifs that read slightly softened at the corners. Curves are firm and controlled (notably in C/O/S), while verticals dominate, giving the face a tight, workmanlike texture. The lowercase shows a straightforward, readable construction with a moderate x-height and clear counters, and the numerals match the same solid, blocky logic for consistent color in text.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where a compact, emphatic slab-serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively for editorial pull quotes and short passages, especially when a strong typographic backbone and firm readability are needed.
The overall tone is practical and confident, with an industrial, slightly vintage flavor reminiscent of labeling, headlines, and editorial typography. Its compact stance and strong serifs create a sense of authority and durability without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended as a dependable, no-nonsense slab serif that delivers high impact in tight horizontal space while staying legible in continuous text. Its consistent stroke weight and sturdy serifs suggest a focus on everyday usability across print-like and display contexts.
In the sample text, the font maintains a consistent dark color and steady spacing that supports long lines, while the pronounced slab terminals help keep forms distinct at smaller sizes. The design favors clarity over delicacy, with simple joins and robust shapes that hold up in bold setting.
