A condensed slab-serif with tall proportions and a crisp, rectilinear construction. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with flat, square-ended serifs and terminals that give the letters a sturdy, engineered feel. Curves are kept tight and controlled, counters read narrow, and the overall rhythm is vertical and compact. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, minimally stylized skeleton, while numerals follow the same narrow, linear logic for consistent color in text.
Works well for headlines and short-to-medium display text where space is limited and a strong vertical presence is desirable. It suits signage, labels, packaging, and editorial layouts that benefit from a condensed slab-serif with clear, structured forms. The consistent, square-ended detailing also fits technical or industrial-themed branding and typographic systems.
The tone feels utilitarian and slightly retro, evoking industrial labeling, newspaper display, and pragmatic signage. Its narrow footprint and firm terminals create a no-nonsense voice that reads as functional, disciplined, and a bit mechanical.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, space-saving slab-serif voice with crisp, square terminals and a disciplined texture. The emphasis appears to be on efficient horizontal economy, clear structure, and a sturdy, utilitarian personality suitable for display and informational use.
The compact width and strong terminal treatment make the font visually assertive even without heavy stroke weight, helping it hold together in dense settings. The squared-off details and tight apertures favor structured layouts and controlled typography over casual warmth.
