A condensed slab-serif with strong, square-cut serifs and a largely vertical, steady stance. Strokes show noticeable contrast—thicker main stems paired with finer horizontals and interior joins—while terminals stay crisp and flat. Counters are compact and the fit is tight, producing a dense, rhythmically even texture in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals and capitals read sturdy and geometric, with small details like the curved tail on Q and the double-storey a reinforcing a traditional, print-oriented feel.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and packaging where a compact width and forceful presence are useful. It can also support brand marks and signage that need a sturdy, traditional slab-serif flavor without taking up much horizontal space.
The overall tone is firm and workmanlike, with a slightly vintage edge that recalls posters, headlines, and utilitarian signage. Its narrow proportions and emphatic slabs give it an assertive voice that can feel both editorial and Americana-leaning depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, combining robust slab serifs with a disciplined, print-classic structure. It prioritizes bold, readable shapes for display typography where density and authority are desirable.
In text settings the condensed width packs words efficiently and creates a strong vertical cadence, while the pronounced serifs help maintain letter separation at larger sizes. The heavier caps compared to the compact lowercase make it particularly effective for mixed-case display lines and punchy titling.
