A compact slab-serif with firm, flat-ended terminals and a predominantly rectilinear construction. Strokes read as even and steady, with squared serifs and blunt joins that give the letters a sturdy, engineered feel. Curves (in forms like C, O, S) stay controlled and relatively tight, while verticals and horizontals dominate the rhythm. The overall spacing and proportions feel condensed and efficient, producing a dark, consistent texture in text.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a compact slab-serif voice adds weight and structure without feeling ornate. It can also serve branding and packaging that benefit from a dependable, vintage-leaning tone, and works for short blocks of text where a firm, consistent texture is desired.
The font conveys an editorial, no-nonsense tone with a subtle typewriter and industrial flavor. Its squared details and compact fit suggest pragmatism and reliability rather than delicacy, creating a voice that feels traditional, structured, and workmanlike.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, practical slab-serif impression in a compact footprint, combining crisp, square terminals with steady stroke presence for strong readability and a distinctly structured typographic color.
Uppercase forms appear especially authoritative, with prominent slab serifs and strong vertical emphasis. In running text, the sturdy terminals and consistent stroke presence create clear word shapes and a slightly dense color that suits robust typographic settings.
