A condensed slab-serif with heavy, square-ended serifs and sturdy, rectilinear construction. Strokes maintain an even, low-contrast weight, producing a dense, dark color on the page. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, while the overall rhythm stays consistent through strong verticals and blunt terminals. Numerals and capitals read as emphatic and architectural, with a slightly mechanical, stamped feel driven by the firm serif blocks and narrow proportions.
Best suited for headlines, posters, labels, and signage where compact width and high impact are needed. It can work well for sports and event branding, product packaging, and bold editorial callouts—especially at medium to large sizes where the slab details remain crisp and intentional.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, evoking classic poster and signage traditions. Its heavy, squared slabs and compressed stance suggest a rugged, workmanlike personality that can also lean into retro and Western-inflected styling when set large.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space while retaining a distinctly slab-serif, display-forward voice. Its squared serifs and even stroke weight prioritize solidity and legibility in attention-grabbing settings rather than delicate text nuance.
The font’s narrow width and strong slab detailing make it especially striking in short bursts, where the silhouette and serif pattern become a graphic texture. In longer lines, the tight interior space and dark typographic color can feel intense, favoring generous tracking and ample line spacing.
