A tightly condensed slab-serif with tall proportions and a compact horizontal footprint. Stems are sturdy and mostly monolinear, with subtle contrast and crisp, square-ended serifs and terminals that give letters a chiseled, engineered feel. Curves are restrained and often flattened into faceted arcs, while joins and corners stay sharp, producing a rhythmic vertical texture. Uppercase forms are especially narrow and stately; lowercase follows with similarly compressed counters and clear, upright construction.
Best suited to display settings where a compact width is valuable: headlines, subheads, posters, packaging, labels, and mastheads. The pronounced slab details and firm vertical rhythm also make it effective for signage-style typography and short editorial pull quotes, particularly when you want a condensed, no-nonsense presence.
The tone reads assertive and utilitarian, with a vintage-industrial character that feels at home in headlines and signage. Its narrow, upright stance adds a formal, authoritative voice, while the angular detailing suggests mechanical precision rather than softness or calligraphy.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving condensed voice with strong slab cues and squared-off finishing, prioritizing impact and a disciplined, industrial texture. It aims for consistent vertical rhythm and clear silhouette recognition at display sizes.
The numerals and uppercase share the same tall, narrow set, keeping a consistent vertical cadence. The overall color on the page is strong and even, creating a dense text stripe in longer lines, especially at larger sizes.
