A condensed slab serif with extremely tall proportions and a strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes are largely monolinear with minimal contrast, and terminals resolve into squared, blocky serifs that read cleanly at display sizes. Counters are narrow and elongated, with rounded bowls kept tight, and the overall fit is compact, producing a dense, column-like texture. The numerals follow the same tall, compressed construction, keeping a consistent, upright presence alongside the letters.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, posters, and packaging where vertical emphasis and space efficiency matter. It can work for short editorial pull quotes or titling, especially when you want a compact line length and a classic slab-serif authority.
The tone feels vintage and poster-like, with a confident, industrial straightforwardness. Its narrow, towering forms evoke classic playbill and newspaper-headline aesthetics, giving text a distinctive, emphatic voice without ornamental flourish.
The design appears intended as a practical condensed slab for impactful display typography—maximizing presence in tight horizontal space while maintaining a strong, legible structure. Its restrained contrast and consistent slab terminals suggest a focus on robustness and repeatable rhythm across a wide range of characters.
The condensed width and tall ascenders create a strong skyline and a tightly packed word shape, which can increase dramatic impact while also making long passages feel dense. The slab detailing is assertive and consistent, reinforcing a sturdy, no-nonsense character across caps, lowercase, and figures.
