A sturdy slab-serif with compact proportions and a tightly controlled rhythm. Stems are firm and relatively heavy, with clearly bracketed slab serifs that read as squared but slightly softened at the joins. Curves are round yet disciplined, and the overall drawing shows moderate stroke modulation that keeps counters open while maintaining a dense, print-forward texture. Uppercase forms feel tall and condensed, while lowercase maintains a straightforward structure with a simple single-storey “g” and robust verticals; numerals are similarly solid and high-contrast enough to stay crisp in text.
Works well for headlines and subheads where a compact, high-impact serif is needed, and it also suits editorial applications that benefit from a strong typographic voice. Its sturdy slabs and dense texture make it a good match for posters, book covers, and packaging that call for a traditional yet assertive feel.
The tone is confident and practical, with a distinctly editorial, old-style printing character. Its slabs and compact width give it a no-nonsense presence suited to serious messaging, while the slight softness in joins keeps it from feeling overly mechanical.
Likely designed to deliver a condensed, high-authority slab-serif voice that reads clearly in display sizes while maintaining a cohesive, print-oriented texture in longer text. The emphasis appears to be on durability, legibility, and a classic editorial presence rather than delicacy.
In paragraph settings the font produces a dark, even color with strong vertical emphasis. The slab terminals and bracketed joins create a subtle stamped/letterpress impression, helping the face hold up in dense lines and prominent headlines alike.
