A compact slab-serif with a steady, even stroke and crisp, square-shouldered detailing. Serifs read as sturdy and mostly unbracketed-to-lightly bracketed, giving the letters a firm baseline and clear terminals. Proportions are relatively condensed with a disciplined rhythm in text, and counters stay open enough for continuous reading. The lowercase shows a straightforward, workmanlike construction with a single-storey g and simple forms, while numerals are plain and legible with consistent widths and clear differentiation.
Well-suited to long-form reading in editorial layouts, textbooks, manuals, and other information-heavy settings where a stable text color is useful. It also works for utilitarian applications like forms, labels, captions, and interface copy where a sturdy serif presence helps scanning and differentiation.
The overall tone is practical and bookish, evoking textbooks, forms, and typewritten or editorial material rather than expressive display. Its restrained geometry and sturdy slabs lend a quietly authoritative, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable, compact slab-serif for everyday typography—prioritizing legibility, consistency, and a solid, utilitarian presence in text. Its controlled shapes and firm serifs suggest an aim for practical readability with a subtle typewriter/editorial character.
In paragraphs, the texture stays even and calm, with modest emphasis from the slab serifs rather than strong stroke modulation. The design reads best when clarity and steady cadence are preferred over elegance or high-contrast refinement.
