A condensed slab serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and largely monoline strokes. The letterforms are upright and compact, with tight counters and a tall, economical silhouette that keeps lines dense without feeling compressed. Serifs are prominent and mostly squared, with subtle bracketing in places, and terminals stay blunt and decisive. Curves are controlled and somewhat flattened, giving rounds like C, O, and e a firm, engineered feel, while the numerals follow the same solid, no-nonsense construction.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and compact editorial layouts where horizontal space is limited. The strong slab serifs and condensed proportions also fit packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, print-forward texture.
The overall tone is practical and workmanlike, leaning toward an industrial, editorial voice. Its condensed rhythm and emphatic serifs evoke vintage printing and utilitarian signage, but in a restrained way that stays neutral rather than decorative.
The font appears intended as a dependable condensed slab serif for high-impact typography in tight columns, balancing robust, traditional serif cues with a streamlined, space-efficient build.
The design maintains consistent weight and spacing discipline across cases, with compact joins and a steady vertical stress that supports dense setting. Uppercase forms read assertively at display sizes, while the lowercase keeps a clear, straightforward texture for continuous text.
