A compact, heavy serif with square, slab-like terminals and an overall blocky construction. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, producing a firm, poster-ready texture, while the serifs read as flat and assertive rather than delicate. Proportions are condensed with tight internal counters and a relatively short extenders feel, giving lines a dense, punchy rhythm. The lowercase is straightforward and sturdy, and the numerals match the same squared-off, workmanlike geometry for consistent color in mixed text.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and bold callouts where dense, compact width helps fit more characters per line without losing impact. It also works for packaging, signage, labels, and branding that benefits from a sturdy, traditional display voice. For longer passages, it’s most effective in short blocks, captions, or pull quotes where its strong texture remains comfortable.
The typeface projects a confident, no-nonsense tone with a vintage, industrial edge. Its condensed weight and squared detailing evoke signage, stamps, and classic display typography, balancing seriousness with a slightly nostalgic flavor.
Designed to deliver maximum presence in a condensed footprint, emphasizing sturdy slabs and square terminals for clarity and authority. The overall construction suggests a focus on bold display communication—legible at a glance and visually stable across letters and numbers.
In text settings the tight spacing and heavy joins create a strong vertical cadence, making the face feel best when given ample line spacing and used at display sizes. The squared terminals and compact counters maintain a consistent, high-impact silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase.
