A compact slab-serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs that read as subtly bracketed rather than sharply cut. Strokes are mostly even with gentle modulation, giving a firm, low-drama rhythm; curves are smooth and controlled, and terminals finish cleanly. Proportions feel condensed with relatively tall ascenders and descenders, and the overall texture in text is dense and orderly, with clear vertical emphasis and consistent spacing.
Well-suited to editorial design, book or long-form typography, and publication headings where a dense, structured serif texture is desirable. It can also support formal branding, institutional materials, and reports that benefit from a sturdy, authoritative voice, performing especially well in larger text and display settings.
The font conveys a sober, editorial tone—confident and matter-of-fact rather than decorative. Its sturdy serifs and compact build suggest tradition and reliability, with a slightly institutional, academic flavor that fits formal communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, robust slab-serif voice that holds up in continuous text while providing confident presence in headings. Its controlled modulation and consistent slab serifs emphasize clarity, stability, and a traditional editorial character.
Uppercase forms look stately and structured, while lowercase maintains a readable, workhorse cadence with rounded bowls and straightforward joins. Numerals share the same sturdy build and maintain clarity at display sizes, contributing to an even, disciplined page color in paragraphs.
