A condensed slab serif with sturdy, mostly even stroke weight and square, unbracketed terminals. Curves are frequently faceted into chamfered or octagonal shapes, giving rounds like O, C, and G a clipped, mechanical feel. Serifs are blocky and consistent, with tight joins and a compact rhythm; counters stay fairly open for the width, and overall spacing reads disciplined rather than airy. Numerals follow the same angular logic, with squared-off bowls and firm horizontal/vertical emphasis.
Best suited to short-to-medium settings where its angular slabs and compact width can add character without sacrificing clarity—headlines, posters, branding lockups, packaging, and product labels. It can also work for signage or UI accents when a sturdy, mechanical voice is desired.
The design communicates a practical, workmanlike tone with a vintage industrial edge. Its clipped curves and firm slabs evoke labeling, stamping, and utilitarian signage, while the condensed proportions add a slightly authoritative, institutional flavor.
The letterforms appear designed to combine condensed economy with a robust slab-serif skeleton, emphasizing crisp joins and chamfered geometry for a technical, stamped look. The consistent, blocky terminals suggest an intent to read clearly while projecting durability and structure.
The caps look particularly rigid and architectural, while the lowercase maintains the same angular construction for bowls and shoulders. The sample text shows a steady texture at paragraph size, with strong verticals and pronounced slab endings that keep lines visually anchored.
