A condensed slab-serif design with tall proportions, compact counters, and a strongly vertical rhythm. Stems are heavy and mostly straight, while joins and interior corners show small notches and pinched transitions that read like subtle ink-tracking or cut-in detailing. Serifs are sturdy and squared with slight bracketing, giving terminals a solid, engineered feel. Curves (C, G, O, S) are tightly drawn with flattened sides, and the overall spacing stays tight and economical, emphasizing a dense, columnar texture in text.
Best suited for display settings where a compact, high-impact word shape is needed—headlines, posters, packaging panels, labels, and signage. It can also work for short subheads or branding marks where a condensed slab presence helps conserve horizontal space while keeping strong emphasis.
The font conveys an industrial, workmanlike tone—confident, blunt, and a little theatrical. Its compressed build and firm slabs evoke vintage posters, labeling, and utilitarian signage, with a no-nonsense voice that still feels styled rather than purely neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a narrow footprint, combining sturdy slab terminals with slightly carved inner shaping to keep forms distinct and lively. It prioritizes a bold, poster-ready texture and a consistent vertical cadence across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Uppercase forms read especially strong and authoritative, while the lowercase retains the same narrow, upright stance and compact apertures. Numerals follow the same condensed, blocky logic for consistent color in headlines and short bursts of information.
