A compact slab serif with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and strongly capped, rectangular serifs. The letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with rounded joins and subtle bracketing that softens the slabs while keeping an industrial solidity. Curves are slightly squarish (notably in bowls and terminals), giving the font a mechanical, stamped rhythm. Counters are moderately open and the overall texture is even, producing a consistent dark color in text without sharp calligraphic modulation.
Performs well in editorial settings where a robust serif texture is desired—magazine text, sidebars, pull quotes, and captions. The compact proportions and steady stroke weight also suit labels, packaging, and utilitarian signage, and it can add a vintage-industrial edge to posters and headlines when set with generous spacing.
The tone reads practical and no-nonsense, with a vintage, utilitarian flavor reminiscent of typewriter and print-shop ephemera. It feels confident and grounded rather than delicate, suited to straightforward messaging where a touch of old-school grit is welcome.
Likely designed as a dependable slab serif for general-purpose typography, prioritizing consistent texture, compact economy, and sturdy readability while borrowing cues from typewriter and industrial printing traditions.
Uppercase forms are particularly upright and columnar, while lowercase shows simple, readable constructions with firm feet and heads that reinforce the slab identity. Numerals and punctuation match the same blunt, rectangular terminal language, keeping the set cohesive in continuous reading.
