A condensed slab serif with heavy, block-like construction and squared-off terminals throughout. The serifs are prominent and rectangular, reading as sturdy slabs rather than delicate brackets, while curves in letters like C, G, O, and S are tightened into compact bowls with fairly flat stress. Strokes are predominantly uniform with slightly emphasized corners and short horizontal arms, producing a dense, vertical rhythm and strong texture in lines of text. Counters are relatively small and apertures are narrow, giving the face a compact, ink-rich silhouette that holds together cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited for display applications where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable—headlines, posters, signage, labels, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short subheads or callouts where strong vertical economy and an industrial, vintage-leaning feel are beneficial.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a rugged, workmanlike character that also nods to vintage signage and wood-type traditions. Its compressed proportions and emphatic slabs create an authoritative, no-nonsense voice suited to attention-grabbing statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in narrow space while retaining the familiar structure of a slab serif. Its squared terminals, compact counters, and robust serifs prioritize bold legibility and a vintage signage/print aesthetic over delicate detail.
The lowercase set follows the same squared, condensed logic as the caps, with compact ascenders/descenders and tightly drawn bowls that keep word shapes uniform and punchy. Numerals match the uppercase weight and width, maintaining a consistent, poster-ready color across mixed content.
