A compact slab serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and minimal stroke modulation. The design is built on straightforward, workmanlike letterforms with squared terminals and mostly bracketed joins that keep the texture even at text sizes. Counters are relatively tight and vertical stems are firm, giving the face a dense, economical rhythm; curves remain controlled rather than flamboyant. Overall spacing feels measured and consistent, supporting a stable, highly legible paragraph color.
Well-suited to long-form reading in magazines, books, and educational material where a firm, even texture helps maintain clarity. It also works effectively for headlines, captions, and signage-style layouts that benefit from compact width and confident, slab-serif presence.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, with a familiar, slightly retro print flavor. It reads as dependable and institutional—more about clarity and structure than personality—while still carrying the assertive presence typical of slab serifs.
This font appears designed as a dependable slab serif for everyday typography, prioritizing legibility, consistency, and an efficient footprint. The overall construction suggests a goal of producing a strong, classic text voice that can scale from paragraphs to display without relying on decorative quirks.
The uppercase shows strong vertical emphasis and solid serif footing, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, bookish construction that maintains a steady reading flow. Numerals are clear and sturdy, matching the same squared, slabbed finishing used throughout the alphabet.
