A condensed slab serif with tall, narrow proportions and a steady, low-contrast stroke. Serifs are blocky and compact, giving terminals a stamped, workmanlike finish while keeping counters relatively open for the width. Rounds are slightly squarish in their rhythm, and curves transition cleanly into straight stems, producing an even, disciplined texture in words. Overall spacing feels measured rather than rigid, with a consistent vertical emphasis across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to space-conscious headings and subheads where a compact, authoritative slab serif texture is desirable. It can also work for captions, signage, and packaging copy where a narrow footprint and consistent stroke help maintain clarity at moderate sizes.
The font conveys an editorial, slightly vintage tone—practical and understated, with a subtle typewriter or press-like flavor. Its narrow build and firm slab endings create a serious, organized voice that reads as functional rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable condensed slab for practical typography—delivering an efficient footprint, stable word color, and a subtly old-fashioned editorial character without relying on ornate detailing.
In the sample text, the condensed width creates strong vertical rhythm and tight word shapes, which can help fit longer headlines or dense labels without feeling compressed in stroke weight. The numerals share the same upright, narrow stance and maintain clear silhouettes that match the text color.
