A condensed slab-serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and predominantly straight-sided forms. Strokes read as consistently heavy, with subtle modulation visible in a few curves, and terminals tend to end in flat, squared cuts. The letters are tall and compact, with tight internal counters and a firm vertical rhythm; round letters like O and Q appear slightly narrowed, and the Q features a distinct descending tail. Lowercase forms are similarly condensed, with compact bowls and a simple, workmanlike construction, while figures are blocky and upright with clear, squared shoulders and bases.
Works best for display applications such as headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a strong, compact voice is needed. The condensed proportions make it useful when fitting impactful titles into narrow columns or tight layouts, and its sturdy slabs suit branding that aims for a rugged or utilitarian feel.
The overall tone feels robust and practical, with a hint of vintage vernacular—evoking wood-type posters, shop signage, and industrial labeling. Its rigid, squared finishing and condensed stance give it an assertive, no-nonsense presence suited to attention-grabbing lines.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, high-impact slab-serif texture with squared finishing for clarity and presence. The forms prioritize strong silhouette, tight set width, and a vintage-meets-industrial character that reads quickly in display contexts.
In text, the tight proportions and heavy joins create a dense texture, especially in sequences with many verticals. The slab serifs and squared terminals help keep letterforms distinct at display sizes, while the condensed width supports long headings where space is limited.
