A condensed, block-built slab serif with an emphatically squared skeleton and crisp, rectilinear terminals. Strokes show clear contrast, with heavy verticals and thinner connecting strokes, giving the design a taut, engineered rhythm. Serifs read as short, sturdy slabs, often with small spurs and notched corners that create a chiseled, cut-in feel. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular, and the overall spacing looks tight, producing a dense, poster-forward texture in text.
Best suited for display sizes where its sharp corners, compact proportions, and slab detailing remain clear. It works well for posters, punchy headlines, brand marks, labels, and signage that benefit from a strong, industrial voice. In longer passages, its dense texture suggests using generous line spacing and larger sizes for comfortable reading.
The face projects a tough, no-nonsense tone—part industrial signage, part vintage display typography. Its angular detailing and high-contrast structure add drama and a slightly theatrical, gothic edge without becoming ornate. Overall it feels commanding, bold in voice, and suited to emphatic statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in narrow spaces while preserving a robust slab-serif identity. Its squared construction, spurred details, and contrast-driven rhythm suggest a focus on bold, sign-inspired legibility and a distinctive, vintage-leaning industrial character.
The uppercase set is particularly rigid and architectural, while the lowercase retains the same square logic, keeping mixed-case text visually consistent. Numerals follow the same compact, blocky construction, reinforcing a uniform, sign-like impression across letters and figures.
