A tall, tightly set slab serif with strongly squared terminals and crisp, unbracketed joins. Strokes are largely uniform with minimal contrast, creating a sturdy, poster-like texture, while counters are narrow and vertically oriented. The design leans on straight stems, flat serifs, and occasional softened curves in bowls, producing a clean, mechanical rhythm. Letterforms are compact and economical, with condensed proportions and a firm baseline presence that stays consistent from caps to lowercase and figures.
Best suited to display work where space is limited but impact is needed—posters, headlines, and mastheads benefit from its condensed footprint and bold slab cues. It also works well for branding, packaging, and signage systems that want a structured, industrial feel and consistent texture across letters and numbers.
The overall tone feels industrial and vintage, recalling signage, print ephemera, and utilitarian display typography. Its narrow build and rigid slab details give it a confident, no-nonsense voice with a slightly theatrical, noir-era edge when set in larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving slab serif with a strong vertical stance and a pragmatic, engineered look. Its squared detailing and low-contrast construction prioritize clarity and punch in larger settings while maintaining a disciplined, repeatable rhythm.
The sample text shows strong vertical emphasis and dense word shapes, with distinctive rounded-rectangle counters appearing in several glyphs, reinforcing a streamlined, engineered character. Numerals and punctuation match the same compact, squared-off construction, keeping the texture uniform in mixed content.
