A condensed slab-serif with tall proportions and a tight overall footprint. Strokes are mostly uniform with minimal contrast, producing a sturdy, even color in text. Serifs are blunt and rectangular with a slightly softened feel, paired with squared terminals and compact counters. Curves are controlled and narrow, and the rhythm is strongly vertical, giving lines a crisp, columnar texture.
Well-suited for tight headlines and subheads where horizontal space is limited but strong presence is needed. It also fits signage-like applications such as labels, packaging, and informational typography that benefits from a compact, sturdy slab-serif texture.
The tone is practical and workmanlike with a subtle vintage, typewriter-adjacent flavor. Its narrow build and firm slabs lend an industrial, no-nonsense voice that reads as straightforward and archival rather than playful or decorative.
The design appears aimed at delivering a dependable condensed slab for practical typography: efficient in width, sturdy in tone, and consistent across letters and numerals for clear, economical setting.
Capitals appear particularly tall and narrow, reinforcing a poster-like verticality, while the lowercase maintains a clear, functional structure suited to continuous reading. Numerals follow the same condensed logic and feel robust, supporting structured layouts where space efficiency matters.
