A condensed slab-serif with heavy, consistent strokes and crisp, square serifs that meet stems abruptly. Proportions are tall and tightly set, creating strong vertical rhythm and dense texture in words. Counters are compact and apertures stay relatively closed, while terminals remain blunt and rectangular, reinforcing a sturdy, engineered look. The lowercase follows a high, efficient structure that keeps text dark and continuous at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and advertising where a strong condensed voice helps fit more characters per line. It also works for packaging, labels, sports or entertainment promotions, and wayfinding-style graphics that benefit from a tough, blocky serif. Best used at display sizes, with careful tracking if set in longer lines of text.
This typeface projects a confident, industrial tone with a touch of vintage poster energy. Its condensed heft and squared terminals feel assertive and practical, suggesting utility and impact over delicacy. The overall mood reads straightforward and no-nonsense, with an editorial and signage-like authority.
The design appears intended for high-impact typography where space is limited and strong presence is required. Its condensed width and sturdy slab details prioritize legibility through bold silhouette and consistent stroke behavior. The square, unsoftened joins and terminals emphasize a functional, poster-ready character.
The figures and capitals maintain the same compressed, vertical emphasis as the alphabet, producing a uniform, punchy texture. In sample text, word shapes read bold and continuous, with minimal modulation and pronounced slab terminals that hold up well in large settings.
