A condensed slab-serif with tall proportions and a taut, vertical rhythm. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with firm, rectangular serifs and flat, square-cut terminals that give counters and joints a slightly boxy feel. Curves are narrow and controlled, and many forms read as compressed versions of familiar serif structures, producing a compact texture and strong alignment in lines of text. The overall construction feels consistent and robust, emphasizing straight stems and crisp edges over flourish.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where verticality and space economy matter, as well as posters and bold editorial titling that benefit from a compact, authoritative voice. The sturdy slab details also fit signage, packaging, and label-style applications where blunt, durable letterforms feel appropriate.
The font conveys a pragmatic, industrial tone with a hint of vintage display character. Its compressed build and blunt slab details feel mechanical and no-nonsense, suggesting signage, labeling, and editorial titling rather than delicate or expressive typography. The mood is confident and workmanlike, with a mildly retro, print-oriented presence.
The design appears intended to maximize presence in a narrow width while retaining the stability and clarity of slab-serifs. Its square-cut finishing and uniform stroke behavior suggest a goal of creating a strong, reproducible typographic voice for display use, especially in dense or space-constrained layouts.
In the sample text, the tight proportions create a dense typographic color, and the square slabs remain visually prominent even at larger sizes. Figures share the same narrow, upright stance as the letters, supporting compact, space-efficient settings.
