A narrow slab-serif with even, steady stroke weight and crisp, square-ended serifs throughout. The design emphasizes verticality: capitals are tall and compact, and lowercase forms are similarly condensed with clear, open counters. Serifs are largely unbracketed and blocky, creating a firm rhythm and a slightly mechanical precision, while curves remain smooth and controlled in letters like C, G, O, and e. Numerals match the text color and proportions, with straightforward, readable forms and consistent terminal treatment.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a compact footprint and firm typographic color are useful, such as magazines, journals, and book layouts. It also works effectively for headlines and subheads that need a traditional slab-serif authority, as well as branding or packaging seeking a classic, structured voice.
The overall tone is traditional and disciplined, with a textbook/editorial sensibility. Its compact width and strong slab structure lend a serious, authoritative voice—more “printed page” than “display flourish.”
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif texture with efficient, space-saving proportions and a clear, print-oriented rhythm. Its consistent terminal treatment and restrained shapes suggest a focus on legibility and typographic discipline rather than expressive ornament.
Spacing appears measured and consistent, supporting a steady line texture in paragraphs. The square terminal logic is applied uniformly across stems, crossbars, and serifs, giving the face a cohesive, workmanlike presence without ornamental excess.
