A condensed slab serif with straight, square-cut terminals and sturdy, blocky serifs. Strokes read largely even in weight, with crisp joins and minimal curvature, creating a firm vertical rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and rectilinear, and the lowercase shows a tall x-height with compact ascenders and descenders, reinforcing an efficient, space-saving texture. Numerals and capitals keep a consistent, engineered feel, with open, upright forms and clear cornered details.
Well-suited to condensed headlines and subheads where space is limited but a strong, structured voice is needed. It can work effectively for signage, packaging, and label-style typography, as well as editorial callouts that benefit from a compact, authoritative slab-serif texture.
The overall tone is functional and matter-of-fact, with a slightly retro, mechanical flavor reminiscent of labeling, forms, and utilitarian print. Its compact width and squared finishing give it an industrial confidence that feels practical rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact slab serif with a clear, engineered skeleton and square finishing, prioritizing a strong vertical cadence and efficient word shapes. Its tall lowercase and firm terminals suggest a focus on practical readability and robust typographic presence in display and short text settings.
The font maintains a consistent, gridded presence across caps, lowercase, and figures, with a disciplined baseline and a narrow footprint that packs words tightly. The square-ended slabs and straight-sided curves emphasize clarity and structure, especially in display sizes where the angular details are most apparent.
