A compact slab serif with sturdy, block-like serifs and mostly straight, squared terminals. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with verticals reading heavier than horizontals, and the overall color stays firm and even in text. Curves are controlled and slightly narrow, with rounded bowls that feel trimmed to fit the tight width. Serifs are short and confident, giving letters a crisp, stamped rhythm; apertures are moderate and counters stay relatively small, reinforcing the dense, editorial texture.
Works well for editorial layouts, book interiors, and other text-forward designs where a dense, sturdy serif texture is desirable. It can also serve compact headlines, captions, and pull quotes, especially when you want a classic, print-like tone with strong typographic presence.
The font conveys a practical, typewriter-adjacent tone—structured, no-nonsense, and a little nostalgic. Its compact build and emphatic serifs suggest authority and documentation, with a subtly old-school, print-centric character rather than a sleek contemporary voice.
Likely drawn to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice with a compact footprint—prioritizing sturdy structure, consistent texture, and an archival, print-oriented feel suitable for continuous reading and utilitarian display.
Uppercase forms feel disciplined and columnar, while lowercase remains straightforward and legible, with a utilitarian, set-from-metal impression. Numerals match the compact proportions and maintain the same sturdy slab punctuation of the letterforms, supporting consistent rhythm across mixed text.
