A condensed slab-serif design with a tall, narrow footprint and a steady, even stroke weight. Serifs and terminals are predominantly flat and squared off, giving letters a crisp, engineered edge. Curves are restrained and tight (notably in C/O/S), while verticals dominate the rhythm, producing a strong columnar texture. The figures and caps share the same narrow proportioning, and the overall spacing reads compact and economical, with consistent, repeatable forms that feel built from simple geometric parts.
Well-suited to space-saving display typography—headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where a compact measure is useful. It also works for labels, signage, and captioning when a firm, utilitarian voice is desired and the condensed rhythm helps fit more characters per line.
The tone blends typewriter practicality with a slightly industrial, engineered crispness. Its narrow stance and squared finishing details create a no-nonsense, archival feel that can read as vintage or utilitarian depending on setting and layout. Overall it projects clarity, restraint, and a touch of mechanical charm.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, economical texture with firm slab detailing and squared terminals—prioritizing a disciplined rhythm and a practical, industrial-leaning presence over softness or flourish.
In text, the condensed proportions create a dense, vertical cadence and make straight-sided letters (H, N, U) especially prominent. Rounded letters remain clean and controlled rather than calligraphic, reinforcing the structured, systematic personality.
