A compact slab serif with sturdy, square terminals and minimal stroke modulation. The letterforms are upright and fairly condensed, with a tight, even rhythm and strong vertical emphasis. Serifs are blocky and largely unbracketed, creating crisp joins and a firm baseline. Counters are open enough for clarity, while the overall texture remains dark and consistent, especially in vertical stems and capitals.
This font suits editorial typography where a solid, traditional slab voice is needed for headings, subheads, and pull quotes. Its compact build and firm serifs also work well for packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a strong, stable texture. It can be used in short-to-medium text settings when a denser, more authoritative color is desired.
The tone is practical and workmanlike, with an industrial, press-friendly feel. Its blunt serifs and compact proportions give it a confident, no-nonsense voice that reads as traditional and slightly retro without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable, plainspoken slab serif: compact, sturdy, and highly consistent across the set. Its emphasis on square serifs and low-contrast strokes suggests a focus on clear reproduction and a familiar, workhorse typographic character.
Numerals are straightforward and sturdy, matching the font’s squared-off finishing. In text, the face holds a steady color and clear word shapes, with a slightly assertive presence that favors structured layouts and headline-like emphasis.
