A compact slab-serif with sturdy, mostly uniform strokes and pronounced, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are slightly condensed with a steady vertical rhythm, and many joins show subtle notches or ink-trap-like shaping that keeps counters open. Terminals tend to be blunt and squared-off, with gently rounded transitions that soften the overall texture. The lowercase is straightforward and readable, with a two-storey “g” and simple, sturdy forms that hold up well in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine layouts, and other text-forward applications where a sturdy serif can carry long passages. It also works effectively for packaging, labels, and concise headlines that benefit from a compact footprint and a slightly vintage, print-driven texture.
The tone is classic and workmanlike, evoking older print and utilitarian lettering rather than sleek modern minimalism. Its sturdy slabs and slightly rugged details suggest a practical, editorial voice with a hint of retro charm.
Likely designed to deliver dependable readability with a distinctive slab-serif flavor, combining compact proportions and uniform strokes for a strong, consistent page color. The small notches and softened transitions appear aimed at maintaining clarity in dense settings while preserving a traditional, print-like character.
Across the alphabet and numerals, the design maintains consistent stroke heft and serif treatment, producing a dark, even typographic color. The narrow proportions and firm serifs create strong word shapes and a confident presence, especially in mixed-case text.
