A compact slab-serif design with heavy, squared serifs and mostly uniform stroke weight, giving the letters a strong, blocky silhouette. The forms are relatively condensed with tight internal counters and a steady vertical rhythm; rounds are slightly squared off, keeping the overall geometry firm and architectural. Joins and terminals often show subtle notches and cut-ins that create an ink-trap-like texture in smaller apertures, while the numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, sturdy presence.
Best suited to display work where a compact, forceful voice is needed—headlines, subheads, posters, and bold branding. It can also work well for packaging and signage that benefit from a sturdy slab-serif texture, especially when set at medium to large sizes.
The tone is utilitarian and assertive, evoking printed ephemera, workwear labeling, and traditional editorial headlines. It feels practical and no-nonsense, with a slightly retro, press-printed flavor that adds character without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-efficient slab-serif voice with confident weight and a slightly industrial texture. Its compact proportions and engineered details suggest a focus on impact and legibility in attention-grabbing settings.
The typeface maintains a strong baseline and clear slab rhythm across cases, with capitals that read especially well in short bursts. Dense black shapes and compact spacing give it punch, while the squared curves and small cut-ins add a distinctive, engineered personality.
