A condensed slab serif with sturdy, square terminals and a largely monolinear stroke feel. The letterforms are tall and compact, with tight interior counters and a rhythmic, columnar texture in text. Serifs are blunt and uniform, and many joins and curves resolve into squared-off shapes, giving the design a robust, mechanical silhouette. The lowercase shows a straightforward construction with a moderate x-height relative to the tall ascenders, and the numerals follow the same narrow, vertical proportions for consistent color.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and label-style applications where a compact, punchy serif texture is desirable. It can also work for short editorial callouts, captions, or branding systems that want a typewriter-leaning, industrial flavor, particularly when space is limited horizontally.
The overall tone is utilitarian and retro, echoing typewriter and stamped-letter aesthetics while remaining clean and controlled. Its compactness and firm terminals lend an authoritative, workmanlike voice that can feel archival, editorial, or industrial depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact slab-serif voice with a mechanical, typewriter-adjacent character. Its emphasis on tall proportions, blunt terminals, and consistent stroke presence suggests a focus on legibility and punch in tight widths.
In continuous text the condensed width creates strong vertical emphasis and a dense typographic color, especially in words with repeated stems. The distinctive slab terminals and narrow counters make it visually assertive, favoring impact over delicacy.
