A compact slab-serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and mostly uniform stroke weight. The design keeps curves controlled and slightly squared, giving bowls and counters a firm, engineered feel. Terminals are blunt and consistent, while verticals read strong and steady, producing an even color in text. Lowercase forms are straightforward and legible, and the numerals follow the same no-nonsense, blocky logic.
Well-suited for editorial typography where a firm, structured serif is desired, including headlines and subheads as well as short to medium text blocks. The compact build and crisp slabs also fit packaging, labels, posters, and clear signage where a pragmatic, sturdy tone is helpful.
The overall tone feels practical and workmanlike, with a subtly retro, print-driven character. Its squared details and firm rhythm suggest an industrial, institutional voice rather than a delicate or decorative one.
Likely designed to deliver a robust, space-efficient slab-serif voice with clear, squared detailing and dependable readability. The emphasis appears to be on consistency and a mechanical, print-friendly rhythm rather than calligraphic nuance.
The narrow proportions and compact spacing create a dense, economical texture that holds together well in paragraphs. The slab structure stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a cohesive, utilitarian identity.
