A compact slab serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a restrained, even stroke weight. The letters sit upright with a relatively tight horizontal footprint and clear, workmanlike proportions. Counters are moderately open, terminals are firm and squared, and curves (C, O, S) maintain a steady, controlled roundness. The lowercase shows a traditional serif rhythm with a short x-height and clear differentiation between similar forms, while the numerals follow the same solid, no-nonsense construction.
Well-suited to body copy and longer reading in print-oriented contexts where a solid serif presence is desired. It also works effectively for editorial layouts, reports, and informational typography that benefits from a compact, structured text color.
The overall tone is practical and established, with a subtle editorial seriousness. Its slab serifs add a confident, sturdy voice without tipping into overt display, giving the font a dependable, institutional feel.
The design appears aimed at a straightforward, durable slab serif for everyday setting—prioritizing clarity, consistent rhythm, and an authoritative tone over stylistic flourishes.
In running text, the steady color and consistent serif treatment create a disciplined texture that reads as structured rather than ornamental. The compact proportions can help conserve space while keeping letterforms distinct.
