A condensed slab serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and largely square-ended terminals. Strokes stay fairly even throughout, giving the letters a compact, blocky texture with minimal modulation. The counters are tight and the joins are firm, creating strong vertical emphasis; round letters like C, O, and S are slightly squared in their curves. Lowercase forms are straightforward and utilitarian, with single-storey a and g and short, sturdy arms and shoulders, helping maintain a dense, consistent rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where a condensed footprint and strong presence are useful. It can also work for logotypes and short editorial titling, particularly when you want a dense, emphatic texture and a utilitarian slab-serif voice.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, with an industrial and slightly vintage flavor. Its compact width and strong slabs project authority and practicality, reading as functional rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining compact proportions with sturdy slab serifs for clear, assertive display typography. Its simplified curves and squared terminals suggest an emphasis on reproducibility and a pragmatic, sign-inspired aesthetic.
The font’s condensed proportions and strong verticals create a dark, tightly packed color, especially in all-caps settings. Numerals follow the same robust, squared construction, supporting a cohesive, sign-like feel across letters and figures.
