A condensed display serif with tall proportions, largely uniform stroke weight, and tightly controlled counters. The forms are built from straight, vertical-sided strokes with frequent chamfered corners and squared terminals, producing a faceted, almost stencil-like rhythm without actual breaks. Curves are minimized and when present are flattened into squarish bowls, giving letters a rigid, engineered geometry. Spacing appears compact and vertical stress is emphasized, with distinctive, narrow apertures and crisp interior angles that hold up at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, vertical presence is useful. It can work well for signage, labels, and packaging systems that benefit from a mechanical, structured voice, especially when set with generous tracking or used at larger sizes.
The overall tone is industrial and disciplined, with a retro signage flavor and a slightly severe, authoritative presence. Its sharp corners and compressed silhouette evoke machinery, labeling, and utilitarian design, while the decorative serif treatment keeps it firmly in display territory.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact display serif with a rigid, engineered construction. By favoring straight strokes, chamfered corners, and squarish bowls, it aims for a distinctive industrial personality while maintaining consistent rhythm across letters and numbers.
Capitals and lowercase share the same angular construction language, creating a consistent texture in mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same condensed, squared-off approach, keeping a uniform, punchy color in lines of text. The face reads cleanly at headline sizes, where the chamfers and tight counters become part of the personality rather than a legibility constraint.
