A compact slab serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and mostly even stroke weight. The design leans condensed in its overall proportions, with tight counters and a strong vertical emphasis that keeps lines looking crisp and economical. Serifs are blunt and unbracketed, and terminals tend to resolve with flat, rectangular endings, giving the forms a mechanically precise rhythm. Uppercase shapes are straightforward and structured, while the lowercase maintains a clear, workmanlike skeleton with a normal-feeling x-height and firmly anchored stems.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where a compact, high-impact slab serif texture is desirable. The condensed stance makes it useful for tight spaces such as signage, labels, and editorial callouts, especially when you want a firm, industrial voice without ornament.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, with an industrial, vintage print character that recalls utilitarian labeling and newsroom typography. Its squared details and compact rhythm give it an authoritative, slightly austere presence, reading as confident rather than decorative.
The design intention reads as a pragmatic slab serif built for strong presence and space efficiency. Its square serifs and restrained modulation aim for clarity and durability in display and short text settings, evoking functional print traditions while remaining clean and direct.
Figures appear sturdy and legible with a consistent, engineered feel, and punctuation in the sample text blends in without calling attention to itself. The overall texture on the page is dense and stable, producing a strong typographic “color” well-suited to bold statements in narrow measure.
