A compact slab-serif with blocky, square-ended terminals and a strongly vertical stance. Strokes maintain an even, low-contrast weight, while the serifs read as short, firm brackets-less slabs that give the letters a stamped, mechanical presence. Proportions are tightly condensed with tall capitals and a steady rhythm in text, and the curves (C, O, S) stay taut rather than round, reinforcing the sturdy, engineered feel. Numerals and lowercase share the same firm construction, with small counters and clear, squared joins that keep the texture dense and consistent.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where a dense, punchy texture is desirable, such as posters, signage, labeling, and packaging. It can also work for editorial display and pull quotes when you want a compact footprint with strong presence.
The overall tone is practical and no-nonsense, with a vintage-industrial flavor reminiscent of labeling, posters, and old editorial display. Its dense texture and blunt details feel authoritative and functional rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability in tight spaces, combining condensed proportions with blunt slab details for a durable, workmanlike look. Its consistent stroke weight and squared finishing suggest a focus on clarity and reproduction in bold, practical applications.
In paragraph-sized samples the narrow set creates a dark, compact color and emphasizes verticality; spacing appears tuned for impact over airiness. The squared terminals and slab accents remain prominent even at smaller sizes, giving the text a distinctive, slightly old-school printed character.
