A condensed, all-caps–friendly serif with a tall, upright stance and firm vertical rhythm. Strokes are generally even and sturdy, with crisp, squared shoulders and small notched wedge serifs that create a slightly “cut” or ink-trap impression at joins. Curves are tightened into squarish bowls and rounded rectangles (notably in C, O, and digits), producing a engineered, display-oriented texture. Counters are compact and apertures are fairly closed, emphasizing dark mass and consistent color across lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, titles, and branding where a compact width and strong presence are needed. It can work for short blocks of text or captions when ample tracking and leading are used, but its dense counters and decorative serif notches make it most effective at display sizes.
The tone reads industrial and vintage, like stenciled signage or early 20th‑century display typography refined for modern reproduction. Its sharp corners and chiseled serif details project authority and a utilitarian confidence, while the condensed proportions keep the voice direct and punchy.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed display serif with a mechanical, carved-in feel—combining sturdy verticals, squared curves, and distinctive notched serifs to stay legible and impactful in tight horizontal spaces.
Lowercase forms echo the uppercase construction with tall ascenders and compact bowls, keeping a tightly packed rhythm in text samples. Numerals are similarly squared and robust, designed to hold their shape at larger sizes where the notches and inner cut-ins become part of the personality.
