A compact, blocky slab serif with square-cut terminals and a tall, condensed stance. Strokes keep a mostly even weight, with tight interior counters and assertive, rectangular serifs that read as flat and unbracketed. Curves are minimized into squarish rounds (notably in O/C/G), giving the design a machined, stamped feel, while verticals dominate the rhythm. In text, the face holds a strong, even color and crisp edges that stay legible at display sizes.
Best suited for display applications where impact and structure matter: posters, bold headlines, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, and logo or wordmark work. It can also support packaging and labels that benefit from a rugged, heritage-inspired voice, though its dense proportions favor short to medium text rather than long reading.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking signage, sports lettering, and workwear-era typography. Its compressed proportions and blunt slabs feel confident and no-nonsense, with a distinctly vintage, poster-ready attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, pairing strong slabs and squared forms for a durable, print-forward look. It prioritizes a consistent, high-impact texture that stays authoritative in headlines and branding.
The condensed width and squared curves create a strong grid-like texture, especially in all caps. Numerals share the same rigid geometry, reinforcing the industrial, uniform voice across letters and figures.
