A condensed slab serif with tall proportions, compact sidebearings, and a steady, low-contrast stroke. Serifs are blocky and squared off, giving terminals a sturdy, engineered feel, while joins and curves stay relatively tight and controlled. The rhythm is strongly vertical, with narrow counters and consistent stem weight that keeps the texture even in dense settings. Figures follow the same compact logic and read clearly at display sizes.
Well-suited to space-constrained headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a compact width is valuable. The slab serifs and even color also make it a good choice for packaging, labels, and signage that need a sturdy, authoritative texture. It can work as a supporting text face in editorial layouts when a condensed, utilitarian tone is desired.
The overall tone is practical and no-nonsense, with an industrial, workmanlike confidence. Its compressed stance and squared details add a slightly retro, print-era flavor—suggesting catalogs, forms, or mechanical labeling—without becoming overtly decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable condensed slab for practical typography—delivering a strong vertical presence, clear shapes, and a stable, uniform color for everyday editorial and display use.
Capitals appear notably tall and commanding, producing strong headline presence in a narrow measure. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, text-ready structure, and punctuation/diacritics (as shown) keep to the same squared, functional detailing for a consistent voice.
