A compact slab serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and a low-contrast stroke model. Proportions feel narrow and vertically oriented, with a steady rhythm and relatively tight counters that keep text color even. Serifs are mostly unbracketed and clean, producing crisp joins and a slightly mechanical edge, while curves remain smooth and controlled. Numerals and capitals are straightforward and workmanlike, with consistent weight and clear silhouettes that hold up well in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial and information-heavy typography where a compact serif can maximize characters per line without losing clarity. It can serve book and report typography, captions, and footnotes, and it also works for packaging or signage that benefits from a sturdy, structured serif voice.
The overall tone is practical and editorial, suggesting reliability and a no-nonsense voice. Its crisp slabs and compact build give it a structured, institutional feel—more functional than decorative—while still reading as traditional and familiar.
Likely drawn to provide an efficient, highly readable slab serif for text-forward layouts, balancing traditional serif cues with crisp, engineered terminals. The emphasis appears to be on consistent paragraph color, dependable letterforms, and an economical footprint for dense setting.
The design leans on strong verticals and flat terminals to maintain a firm baseline and clear alignment in paragraphs. In the sample text, the even texture and restrained contrast help keep long lines stable and legible, with a slightly dense, authoritative presence.
