A compact slab serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a consistent, low-contrast stroke treatment. The letters are relatively narrow with a vertically oriented rhythm and clean, squared terminals that keep counters open even in tight forms. Curves are controlled and slightly squared-off, and the overall texture on the page is even and workmanlike rather than calligraphic. Numerals and capitals follow the same pragmatic construction, with clear joins and stable proportions suited to continuous reading.
Well-suited to editorial and long-form contexts where a firm, steady texture is helpful—such as book text, newspapers, and magazines. It also fits functional applications like captions, labels, and forms where the slab serifs add structure without sacrificing clarity at smaller sizes.
The tone is straightforward and dependable, with a subtle industrial flavor. It reads as serious and no-nonsense, evoking utilitarian printing and editorial typography rather than decorative display.
Likely designed as a plainspoken slab serif for general-purpose typography, balancing robustness with readability. The intent appears to be a reliable, compact text face that holds up in dense settings while retaining a traditional serif presence.
The font maintains a steady color across mixed case, and the slab serifs add emphasis without creating sharp contrast or delicate hairlines. Spacing appears moderate and consistent, supporting legibility in paragraph settings while still allowing a compact set width.
