A condensed, monoline slab serif with a consistent oblique slant and square, unbracketed serifs that read like stamped terminals. Strokes stay even in weight, with tight apertures and compact counters, giving the letters a dense, economical color on the page. Curves are slightly squared-off and corners are crisp, while joins and terminals emphasize rectangular geometry. The overall rhythm is steady and mechanical, with modest irregularity in widths that adds a pragmatic, typewritten feel rather than strict textbook uniformity.
Works well for compact headlines, posters, and packaging where a strong, condensed voice is needed. The slabby, typewriter-like construction also suits labels, signage, and editorial callouts that want a functional, retro-industrial texture without relying on heavy contrast.
The font conveys a utilitarian, vintage tone—suggesting office ephemera, labeling, and mid-century technical print. Its slanted stance and blocky serifs add urgency and grit, while the even strokes keep it straightforward and readable. The effect is functional and industrial, with a hint of retro charm.
Likely designed to evoke a typewriter/monospace-adjacent, stamped aesthetic while remaining proportionally flexible for more natural typography. The goal appears to be a condensed, space-saving serif with sturdy terminals and an energetic slant that reads clearly in display settings.
Numerals are narrow and upright in structure but share the same slabby terminals, keeping them visually aligned with the letters. The sample text shows strong word-shape continuity at text sizes, though the condensed forms and squared detailing produce a firm, compact texture that feels assertive in longer lines.
