A condensed, block-built slab serif with largely uniform stroke weight and crisp, square-cut terminals. Serifs are heavy and mostly unbracketed, giving letters a sturdy, stamp-like silhouette. Curves are minimized into chamfered corners and flattened arcs, producing squared bowls and angular joins (notably in C, G, O, and S). Counters are compact and rectangular, and the overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with strong, consistent stems and clear, mechanical geometry.
Best suited to display settings where compact width and strong, squared slab forms help text hold its shape at a distance—posters, headlines, product marks, and bold signage. It also fits athletic or workwear-inspired graphics, labels, and editorial callouts where a firm, industrial tone is desired.
The face reads as tough and utilitarian, with a classic poster-and-signage flavor. Its squared construction and bold slabs evoke workwear labeling, athletic lettering, and Old West–adjacent display typography without feeling ornamental. Overall, it conveys solidity, practicality, and a slightly retro industrial attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact slab serif that stays legible through strong vertical structure, simplified curves, and square terminals. Its consistent, engineered geometry suggests a focus on practical display typography that feels robust and unmistakably graphic.
In text, the tight spacing and narrow proportions create a dense color on the line, while the squared detailing keeps letterforms distinct. The uppercase has a commanding presence, and the numerals share the same straight-sided, hard-cornered logic for consistent set numbers and short data strings.
