A condensed, vertically oriented slab-serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and flat-ended terminals. Strokes are predominantly even in thickness, with crisp right-angled joins and a compact, economical set width that creates a strong vertical rhythm. Counters are narrow and tall, and many curves resolve into squared shoulders, giving the alphabet a structured, engineered feel. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, poster-ready texture, while the lowercase stays compact and upright for tight copy settings.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where condensed width helps fit more characters without losing presence. It can also support bold editorial subheads or branding marks that benefit from a rigid, mechanical texture and a clear, upright stance.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, combining a vintage wood-type flavor with a pragmatic, industrial voice. Its compressed proportions and squared finishing details read as confident and workmanlike, suggesting signage, headlines, and labels where impact matters more than delicacy.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in narrow spaces, pairing strong slabs with compact proportions to create a dense, attention-grabbing line. Its squared construction and consistent stroke weight suggest an intention toward durable, reproducible lettering for display applications.
The design’s tight internal spaces and strong vertical stress make it particularly striking in all-caps and short words, where the repeated slab forms create a consistent, patterned texture. The punctuation and figures match the same squared, sturdy construction, reinforcing a cohesive, display-oriented personality.
