A compact slab-serif with sturdy, mostly uniform strokes and pronounced, blocky serifs that read as slightly bracketed and softly blunted at the ends. The letterforms feel narrow and economical, with tight counters and a steady vertical rhythm; curves are rounded but restrained, and joins stay clean rather than calligraphic. Capitals appear strong and upright with a traditional serif skeleton, while lowercase forms keep a compact texture and a modest x-height that reinforces the dense, print-like color. Numerals follow the same robust, no-nonsense construction, maintaining consistent stroke weight and sturdy terminals.
Well-suited to text-heavy settings where a compact, sturdy serif texture is desirable, such as books, editorial layouts, and dense product copy. It also works effectively for headlines and labels that want a typewriter-leaning, vintage utility feel without resorting to distressed effects.
The overall tone is practical and archival, evoking typewriter and early-print sensibilities without becoming overly decorative. Its firm slabs and compact fit create a disciplined, workmanlike voice that feels at home in editorial and utilitarian contexts, with a subtle vintage warmth from the softened, slightly inked-looking terminals.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, durable slab-serif voice with consistent stroke weight and a controlled rhythm, balancing readability with a deliberately utilitarian, print-oriented character.
The design produces an even, dark text color in paragraphs, with clear vertical emphasis and relatively tight interior space. The serif treatment and blunt terminals help maintain clarity at larger sizes while also contributing to a distinctly mechanical, stamped impression.
