A condensed slab-serif with heavy, square terminals and a distinctly rectilinear construction. Strokes are largely monoline, with minimal contrast and blunt, unbracketed serifs that read as solid blocks. Counters are compact and corners lean toward squared-off curves, producing a tight rhythm and strong vertical emphasis. Numerals and capitals feel especially rigid and architectural, while lowercase maintains the same firm, mechanical structure.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where a compact footprint and strong, blocky presence are desirable. It also works for short bursts of text such as labels, pull quotes, and UI headings where clarity and firmness matter more than a gentle reading texture.
The overall tone is tough and workmanlike, evoking industrial labeling and old poster typography with a hint of Western or frontier display. Its compact width and heavy terminals create a no-nonsense, authoritative voice that feels functional rather than delicate.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, high-impact slab-serif voice with a utilitarian, stamped/printed feel—prioritizing sturdiness, straightforward geometry, and strong terminal shapes for attention and legibility in display contexts.
The face holds a consistent, sturdy texture in lines of text, with pronounced slab terminals that keep letterforms from feeling flimsy at smaller sizes. The condensed proportions increase density, making spacing and word shapes appear compact and emphatic.
