A condensed slab-serif with compact proportions and a steady, low-contrast stroke. Serifs are squared and sturdy, reading as small brackets or flat feet that reinforce a mechanical, constructed feel. Counters are narrow and vertical stress is subtle; curves stay tight and controlled, while joins and terminals remain crisp. The overall rhythm is upright and even, with slightly uneven letter widths that keep the texture lively without looking informal.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and compact typographic layouts where space is limited and a firm, mechanical presence is desired. It also fits packaging, labels, and editorial display moments that benefit from a condensed slab-serif texture.
The tone feels utilitarian and industrial, with a retro, typewriter-adjacent flavor. Its tight spacing and firm slabs create a no-nonsense voice that reads as practical and slightly rugged rather than delicate or luxurious.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient slab-serif with a robust, engineered character. By pairing compact widths with squared serifs and controlled curves, it aims for clear impact and a consistent, workmanlike texture in display and short-copy settings.
In text, the narrow set builds a dense, dark typographic color, helping it hold together in headlines and short blocks. The squared details and restrained curvature give it a strong printed feel that suggests signage or stamped/typed matter.
