A condensed slab-serif with sturdy, uniform stroke weight and strongly bracketless, rectangular serifs. The letterforms are built from simplified, blocky geometry: straight-sided stems, squared terminals, and compact bowls that keep counters tight. Capitals are tall and assertive with a consistent, even rhythm; lowercase follows the same constructed logic with sturdy shoulders and minimal curvature. Numerals are similarly compact and upright, designed to hold their shape at large sizes while remaining tightly set.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and bold typographic statements where a condensed, space-saving footprint is useful. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, utilitarian voice. In longer passages, it works most comfortably at larger sizes where the tight counters and condensed spacing stay clear.
The overall tone feels practical and forceful, with a workmanlike, sign-painter clarity. Its condensed proportions and hard-edged slabs suggest vintage utility—evoking old posters, product stenciling, and no-nonsense headlines. The result reads confident and slightly rugged rather than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a strong slab-serif structure with simplified, industrial letterforms. It prioritizes solidity and legibility for display settings, echoing heritage poster and signage traditions while staying clean and consistent.
The font’s narrow width and heavy slabs create dense word shapes, making it especially impactful in short bursts of text. Squared details and tight apertures can reduce openness in small sizes, while the uniform stroke behavior keeps texture consistent across lines.
