A compressed slab serif with heavy, block-like strokes and squared, flat-ended terminals. The design uses sharp chamfered corners and small internal notches that give many letters an engraved or stencil-like finish, while keeping a consistent, upright posture. Counters are tight and mostly rectilinear, with octagonal/rounded-rectangle bowls (notably in O/0) and sturdy, uniform serifs that read as rectangular slabs. The rhythm is dense and punchy, with narrow proportions and a strong vertical emphasis that holds together well in headline sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and branding where a dense, forceful voice is needed. It also works well on packaging and labels that want a vintage or workshop/industrial flavor, and for sports or event graphics that benefit from compact, high-impact letterforms.
The overall tone feels rugged and emphatic, blending a frontier poster sensibility with a practical, industrial sturdiness. Its bold, condensed presence projects authority and confidence, with a slightly nostalgic, print-era character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in tight horizontal space, using sturdy slab serifs and chamfered detailing to evoke classic display typography associated with posters and bold signage.
Distinctive corner cuts and inset details add texture without relying on contrast, creating a hard-edged silhouette that stays legible at distance. The numerals follow the same squared, chiseled logic, supporting a cohesive, sign-ready look.
