A compact, block-built slab serif with tall, narrow proportions and a tightly controlled rhythm. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear with crisp, squared corners and flat-ended terminals, producing a stamped, machined feel. Serifs are bold and unbracketed, often rendered as rectangular wedges or notches that create strong top and bottom silhouettes. Counters are small and geometric, and the overall texture reads dense and high-impact, especially in all caps.
Best suited to display use where impact and compact width matter: headlines, posters, labels, and bold wordmarks. It can also work for short signage and badges where a rugged, industrial voice is desired, but the dense counters suggest avoiding very small sizes or long passages of text.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking vintage signage, posters, and workwear branding. Its squared forms and sharp slab details add a rugged, no-nonsense character with a hint of Western/old-style display energy.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual weight in a narrow footprint, with slab details and squared terminals that reproduce well in bold, high-contrast applications like signage and branding. The consistent block geometry suggests an intention toward a sturdy, vintage-leaning display style rather than delicate typographic nuance.
The design emphasizes straight verticals and clipped joins, with distinctive chamfers and cut-ins that give many letters a carved or die-cut look. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same condensed, blocky logic, keeping color and presence consistent across mixed-case settings.
