A condensed, forward-leaning slab serif with sturdy, squared serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The letterforms are built from tall, narrow proportions and tight sidebearings, producing a dense, rhythmic texture. Terminals tend to be blunt and rectangular, with crisp joins and minimal modulation, while counters stay compact and vertical. Numerals and capitals share the same compressed stance, keeping the overall silhouette consistent and punchy in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where a compact footprint and high impact are needed. It can also work for editorial display typography—pull quotes, section openers, and titling—when you want a condensed, robust voice that maintains clarity at moderate sizes.
The tone feels industrious and energetic, with a utilitarian backbone that reads as confident and slightly vintage. The pronounced slabbiness and condensed slant give it a mechanical, poster-like urgency while still remaining composed enough for editorial settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-energy slab serif for display use, combining condensed proportions with firm, squared serifs to create a bold, industrial-flavored rhythm that stands out in short text.
The strong diagonal emphasis from the slant is reinforced by short, blocky serifs that create a repeating horizontal beat. In the sample text, the narrow set width and compact counters increase perceived darkness and momentum, especially in all-caps or headline-size words.
