A condensed slab-serif design with strong vertical emphasis and crisp, blocky serifs. Strokes show pronounced contrast between thick verticals and finer connecting strokes, producing a tight, punchy texture in text. Serifs are square and largely unbracketed, giving a mechanical, stamped feel, while counters stay relatively open for the width. Round letters are drawn narrowly with straightened sides, and joins and terminals remain clean and abrupt rather than calligraphic.
Performs well in headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where a compact footprint and strong presence are desirable. The sturdy slabs and condensed rhythm also suit packaging, labeling, certificates, and editorial layouts that want a vintage or typewritten accent without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone feels typewriter-like and workmanlike, with an industrial, archival character. Its compressed forms and strong slabs suggest vintage documentation, labeling, and no-nonsense editorial typography rather than delicate or expressive lettering.
Likely intended to deliver a compact slab-serif voice that feels mechanical and authoritative, combining space efficiency with a bold, stamped impression. The design balances readability with a distinctive compressed texture that stands out in display settings.
Caps are tall and commanding, and the narrow proportions create a rhythmic, column-like pattern across lines. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, reading clearly and consistently alongside the uppercase. The face keeps a disciplined, engineered feel, making it especially impactful where space is limited and a firm voice is needed.
