A compact slab-serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a low-contrast, near-monoline stroke. Letterforms are upright and relatively narrow, with modest apertures and slightly rounded, softened terminals that keep the texture even in paragraphs. The serifs read as bold and blocky but not sharp, giving the outlines a subtly worn, inked-in impression. Uppercase forms are straightforward and classical, while the lowercase keeps a tight, economical rhythm with a comparatively short x-height and clear ascender/descender structure. Numerals are simple and sturdy, matching the same slabbed, workmanlike construction.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and other long-form text where an even, grounded texture is desirable. The strong slab serifs also make it effective for concise headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or labels that want a practical, heritage-leaning voice.
The overall tone is practical and editorial, with a distinctly typewriter-adjacent, vintage seriousness. It feels utilitarian and trustworthy rather than decorative, carrying a quiet, archival character that suggests printed pages, reports, and period publishing.
The design appears intended as a dependable slab-serif for general typesetting, prioritizing steady rhythm and sturdy letterforms. It aims to deliver a familiar, print-forward tone with subtle warmth from softened details while remaining a straightforward workhorse.
Spacing and proportions create a steady, slightly dense color on the page, and the heavy slab serifs help maintain clarity at larger sizes while keeping a firm baseline in text. The softened joins and terminals lend a mild handmade/inked quality without breaking the font’s disciplined, plainspoken structure.
