A condensed slab serif with a tall, narrow stance and a steady, mostly even stroke weight. Serifs are square and unapologetic, giving terminals a firm, blocky finish, while counters stay relatively open for the width. Curves are tight and controlled, joins are crisp, and the overall texture reads as compact and vertical, producing a strong columnar rhythm in words and lines. Numerals and capitals share the same compressed proportions, reinforcing a consistent, space-efficient color on the page.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, captions, and space-constrained layouts where a narrow measure is useful. It also works well for posters, packaging labels, signage, and editorial design that benefits from a sturdy slab-serif voice and a compact typographic footprint.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, with an industrial, slightly vintage flavor reminiscent of display type used for labels, posters, or headlines that need to feel sturdy. Its narrow build adds urgency and efficiency, while the slab serifs contribute a confident, workmanlike presence.
The design appears intended as a dependable, condensed slab serif for clear, efficient communication—prioritizing firmness, consistency, and space economy while retaining enough character to stand out in display and editorial contexts.
Because the design packs a lot of vertical energy into a narrow measure, it creates dense typographic blocks and strong alignment in stacked text. In longer settings it will feel assertive and tightly spaced, especially where repeated vertical strokes form a pronounced rhythm.
