A condensed display serif with heavy, uniform-feeling stems and sharp, flared terminals. The letters are built from rectangular cores softened by small notches and wedge-like, tapered serifs, giving many joins an ink-trap look. Curves are minimized in favor of squared bowls and counters, producing a vertical, compact rhythm. Numerals and lowercase follow the same blocky construction, with tight apertures and clearly defined shoulders and terminals.
Best used for headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where dense width and strong contrast are assets. It can work well for branding systems that need an industrial or athletic voice, as well as packaging and signage where compact, high-impact letterforms help maximize space.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, with a utilitarian, slightly vintage edge. Its compressed proportions and chiseled detailing suggest strength and urgency, suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact serif voice with decorative corner shaping that enhances punch and texture in display use. It prioritizes bold presence and tightly set word shapes while keeping letterforms straightforward and easily recognized.
The face maintains consistent vertical stress and strong top-and-bottom anchoring, which helps words form dense, high-impact silhouettes. The distinctive notches at inner corners and the pointed serifs add texture at larger sizes and can visually tighten at smaller sizes.
