A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, blocky serifs and subtly bracketed joins. Strokes show clear but not extreme modulation, with strong verticals and comparatively lighter connecting strokes that keep text lively. The letterforms lean traditional with compact apertures and rounded bowls, while terminals and serifs land with crisp, squared-off confidence. Lowercase proportions feel balanced and readable, and the overall rhythm is slightly mechanical due to consistent slab endings and firm horizontals.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where a firm serif voice is desired. The strong slab structure also makes it effective for headlines, pull quotes, packaging, and poster-style settings that benefit from a classic, workmanlike presence.
The face conveys a typewriter-adjacent, institutional tone—practical, dependable, and a bit nostalgic. Its bold slabs and measured contrast give it an editorial seriousness that reads as authoritative without feeling formal or delicate.
Likely designed to combine traditional slab-serif authority with a slightly mechanical, typewriter-like rhythm for versatile reading and impactful display. The emphasis appears to be on clarity, durability, and a distinctive serif footprint that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
In the sample text, the dense serif structure holds together well at display sizes and maintains a steady texture across long lines. Numerals appear sturdy and straightforward, matching the no-nonsense construction of the letters.
