A condensed, blocky slab-serif with heavy vertical emphasis and mostly uniform stroke weight. Serifs are square and prominent, with compact, straight-sided counters and minimal curvature, giving the alphabet a firmly structured rhythm. Capitals are tall and narrow with strong, rectangular shoulders and terminals; lowercase follows suit with sturdy, upright forms and a tightly controlled width. Numerals are equally compact and robust, maintaining the same squared-off construction and strong baseline presence.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and signage where a compact width and strong presence help typography command attention. It also fits packaging, labels, and logo wordmarks that benefit from an assertive, traditional slab-serif voice and dense, impactful text color.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking workmanlike signage, traditional display typography, and a classic Americana/wood-type sensibility. Its dense, no-nonsense shapes project confidence and durability, with a slightly vintage, poster-ready character.
Likely designed to deliver a space-saving display slab with maximum visual weight and clarity, pairing condensed proportions with squared slabs for a bold, practical look. The consistent, rectilinear construction suggests an emphasis on robustness and reproducible forms for prominent, attention-driven settings.
Spacing and proportions read intentionally tight and economical, creating a dark, even texture in lines of text. The squared terminals and strong slabs keep letterforms crisp at larger sizes, while the condensed build makes it suited to high-impact headlines where horizontal space is limited.
