A condensed, monolinear slab serif with rectilinear construction and flat, squared terminals. Strokes stay even throughout, with minimal modulation and sharp inside corners that create a crisp, engineered texture. Serifs are blocky and compact rather than bracketed, reinforcing a rigid vertical rhythm. Counters tend toward narrow rectangles, and curves are restrained, often resolving into straight-sided forms; overall spacing is tight but consistent for a clean columnar color in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a compact, industrial voice is desirable: packaging and bottle labels, product markings, signage systems, and editorial callouts. It also works well for narrow headlines and poster typography when you want a tall, schematic presence without heavy weight.
The face communicates a practical, mechanical tone—matter-of-fact and slightly retro, like labeling on equipment or a stamped drafting title block. Its squared details and narrow build feel disciplined and procedural, projecting efficiency more than warmth.
The design appears aimed at delivering a compact slab serif with a square, engineered drawing style—optimized for vertical economy and a consistent, no-nonsense texture across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The numerals and uppercase share the same tall, narrow proportions, producing a strong vertical emphasis and a distinctly technical cadence. The lowercase retains the same squared logic, keeping texture uniform across mixed-case settings.
