A compact, heavy slab-serif with tightly packed proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Stems are thick and largely uniform, while serifs read as substantial, squared slabs with subtle bracketing that softens the joins. Curves are controlled and slightly compressed, with counters kept relatively small for a dense, ink-trap-free silhouette. Overall spacing feels economical and headline-oriented, creating a dark, even texture across lines of text.
Best suited for headlines, short copy, and prominent typographic moments where a compact footprint and high impact are desirable. It works well for posters, signage, labels, and packaging that need a rugged, attention-grabbing voice, and can add a vintage-industrial accent to branding in large sizes.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a workmanlike, display-driven energy. Its condensed, slabbed construction evokes classic poster lettering and utilitarian signage, lending a slightly vintage, frontier-adjacent flavor without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, combining sturdy slab serifs with condensed proportions for strong, poster-like emphasis. Its consistent weight and squared details suggest a focus on bold legibility and a classic display character rather than delicate text setting.
The numerals and capitals present a consistent, sturdy color, and the lowercase maintains the same compact, heavy stance. The font’s dense shapes favor strong silhouettes over airy readability, especially as size decreases.
