A condensed slab-serif design with consistent, monoline-like stroke weight and flat, squared terminals. Serifs are sturdy and rectangular, acting as clear caps at stroke ends rather than flowing transitions. Curves are controlled and somewhat squared-off, with rounded corners kept tight, giving bowls and counters a slightly engineered feel. Proportions are tall and narrow with even, regular rhythm; spacing reads orderly and the overall texture stays clean and linear in text.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where a condensed, structured texture is helpful for fitting copy into tight columns. The squared slabs and clear forms also work effectively for posters, labels, and packaging that benefit from an industrial or technical tone. In short blocks of text, it can deliver a clean editorial voice with strong vertical rhythm.
The tone is pragmatic and utilitarian, with a faint retro-industrial flavor. Its squared slabs and restrained curves suggest signage, machinery labeling, or editorial typography that wants clarity without softness. The narrow build adds a brisk, economical character that feels disciplined and straightforward.
Likely intended to provide a compact slab-serif voice that stays legible and orderly while projecting a functional, engineered personality. The design emphasizes efficiency of width, consistent stroke behavior, and squared terminal construction to create a distinctive, dependable texture in display and supporting text settings.
The uppercase presents a strong vertical emphasis and a stable baseline presence, while lowercase maintains a similarly upright, compact stance. Numerals follow the same narrow, squared logic, producing a consistent voice across alphanumerics. The design’s firmness comes more from terminal geometry and proportion than from weight, keeping it crisp rather than heavy.
