A compact slab-serif with sturdy, mostly uniform strokes and strong horizontal serifs that read as flat and square-ended in text, with slight bracketing and softened corners. Proportions are condensed and vertical, with a steady rhythm and clear counters; capitals are clean and straightforward, while lowercase forms show a practical, workmanlike construction (notably the single-storey-style simplicity and sturdy stems). Curves are controlled rather than calligraphic, and terminals stay blunt and mechanical, keeping the overall texture even and dark without sharp contrast.
Well suited to editorial headlines and subheads where a compact, authoritative slab presence is useful, and it can also work for posters, packaging, and labeling that benefit from a typewriter-like sturdiness. Its even color and blunt terminals make it effective for short to medium text blocks where a deliberate, utilitarian texture is desired.
The tone feels typewriter-adjacent and editorial: matter-of-fact, archival, and slightly vintage. Its compact, sturdy shapes convey reliability and a pragmatic voice rather than elegance, suggesting documents, labels, and straightforward communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice with a compact set width and a clear, mechanical rhythm—evoking typewritten and industrial printing cues while staying clean enough for contemporary layout work.
Numerals are plain and readable with consistent widths and slabbed finishing, matching the text color well. The face maintains a disciplined, slightly condensed footprint that helps pack information while preserving legibility, especially at display-to-subhead sizes.
