A compact slab-serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and mostly uniform stroke weight. The letterforms are tall and space-efficient, with squared-off terminals and a crisp, mechanical rhythm. Curves are controlled and slightly condensed, with rounded bowls that meet straighter stems cleanly. Lowercase shows a single-storey g and a narrow, looped e, while punctuation-like details (such as i/j dots) appear distinctly round and prominent against the otherwise squared construction.
Well-suited for editorial paragraphs, reports, manuals, and other reading-focused layouts where a firm, structured texture is desirable. The compact width also works for captions, tables, and space-constrained UI or document settings, while the bold slab presence can support succinct headlines and pull quotes.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and utilitarian, evoking forms and paperwork while still reading cleanly in continuous text. Its tight proportions and blunt slab details give it a pragmatic, slightly retro editorial voice rather than a delicate or decorative one.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, space-saving slab serif with a practical, print-oriented feel, balancing mechanical clarity with enough warmth in the curves to remain comfortable in longer passages.
Numerals are clear and sturdy, with straightforward, slightly condensed shapes that match the font’s compact texture. Uppercase characters maintain a consistent, disciplined silhouette, and the slabs remain visually stable across straight and curved forms, helping paragraphs hold an even color.
