A condensed slab serif with monoline strokes and sturdy, blocky serifs that read as squared terminals. The letterforms are strongly vertical with compact counters and a tight overall footprint, producing a crisp, economical rhythm in text. Curves are kept controlled and narrow, while joins and terminals stay mostly rectilinear, giving the design a clean, workmanlike finish. Numerals and capitals share the same compact, upright structure, maintaining an even texture across lines.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where space is limited and a solid, structured voice is needed. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage-style applications that benefit from compact width and robust serifs. In editorial layouts it can work effectively for titles, sidebars, and short blocks where a dense, consistent texture is desirable.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, with a subtle industrial and editorial feel. Its narrow proportions and firm slabs create a disciplined, slightly retro voice that suggests documentation, labeling, and straightforward communication rather than flair.
The design appears intended as a straightforward condensed slab for efficient typesetting: strong vertical rhythm, durable serifs, and restrained detailing aimed at clarity and space economy. It prioritizes consistent texture and practicality over decorative contrast or calligraphic nuance.
The tall lowercase presence and narrow apertures make the texture dense and consistent, with strong vertical emphasis. The slab serifs add stability at small sizes while keeping the silhouette distinctly structured in display settings.
