A tightly condensed, rectilinear display face with tall proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are predominantly straight with crisp, square-ended joins and heavy slab-like serifs that read as flat, blocky feet and caps. Counters are narrow and angular, with frequent notches and chamfered corners that add a faceted, cut-from-metal feel. The lowercase follows the same narrow construction, with compact bowls and minimal curvature, producing dense word shapes and a firm, columnar texture in lines of text.
Works best for impactful headlines, posters, titling, and branding where a compressed, high-impact texture is desirable. It can also suit signage and packaging that benefits from a rigid, industrial or vintage-styled voice, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is stern and architectural, mixing a vintage poster sensibility with an industrial, almost mechanical severity. Its sharp corners and compressed silhouettes create a sense of urgency and command, while the slabbed terminals lend a grounded, authoritative presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using squared slabs and angular cut-ins to create a distinctive, engineered silhouette. It prioritizes display impact and a consistent vertical cadence over neutral text readability.
Because of the condensed width and tight internal spacing, the face reads best when given generous tracking and ample line spacing. Numerals and capitals appear especially rigid and monolithic, reinforcing a strong headline voice.
