A condensed slab-serif with strong, square-cut serifs and largely monoline strokes. The design favors compact widths, straight-sided bowls, and crisp right-angle joins, giving letters a sturdy, engineered feel. Curves are controlled and slightly squared off, while terminals and serifs end flat and blunt, producing an even, rhythmic texture in text. Lowercase forms are straightforward and workmanlike, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and a generally uniform stroke presence across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where a dense, sturdy presence is desirable—posters, labels, packaging, and signage systems. It can also work in editorial settings for pull quotes or subheads when a retro-industrial voice is needed.
The overall tone is practical and mechanical, evoking stamped lettering, typewriter output, and mid-century industrial signage. Its tight proportions and blunt slab details read as authoritative and functional rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-efficient slab-serif for bold messaging, combining typewriter/industrial cues with clean, square finishing for consistent reproduction across display applications.
In the sample text, the narrow set and prominent slabs create a dark, compact color with clear vertical emphasis. The numerals and capitals feel particularly solid and sign-like, while the lowercase maintains a consistent, no-nonsense cadence.
