A condensed, upright slab serif with sharply chamfered corners and largely rectilinear construction. Stems are sturdy with clear step-like terminals and squared slabs, while joins and curves are frequently faceted into octagonal forms (notably in C, G, O, and numerals). Contrast is noticeable but controlled, with thinner connecting strokes and heavier verticals producing a firm rhythm without becoming delicate. The overall texture is dense and even, with compact sidebearings and a slightly mechanical, engraved feel across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display applications where its dense, angular slabs and faceted curves can carry personality: headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, and brand marks with a heritage or industrial bent. It can also work for short subheads and packaging callouts where a compact, high-impact texture is desired.
The faceted geometry and bold, square serifs evoke an industrial and old-style display tone—part Western wood-type, part machine-stamped lettering. It feels assertive and utilitarian, with a vintage poster sensibility that reads confident and slightly rugged rather than refined.
The design appears intended to reinterpret slab-serif display lettering through a geometric, chamfered lens—prioritizing bold silhouettes, consistent faceting, and a compact rhythm for attention-grabbing text. Its forms suggest an aim for sturdy legibility and a distinctive, poster-ready voice.
Lowercase forms lean toward simplified, sturdy constructions with prominent slab terminals and occasional hard angles in bowls and shoulders. Numerals share the same chamfered, sign-painter/placard logic, keeping counters and corners crisp for strong silhouette recognition at display sizes.
