A compact slab-serif design with straight, square-ended serifs and generally uniform stroke weight that reads clean and controlled. The letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with a consistent, mechanical rhythm and relatively tight internal spaces. Terminals and corners resolve into crisp, flat cuts, giving the face a firm, structured texture across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals and capitals share the same disciplined proportions, producing an even, column-like color in setting.
Works well for editorial copy, notes, and document-style layouts where a structured slab-serif texture supports long reading. It also suits technical documentation, forms, and labels that benefit from compact width and clear, squared letter shaping, and can be effective for headlines when a typewritten or institutional flavor is desired.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and workmanlike, with a pragmatic, no-nonsense voice. Its squared details and restrained curves suggest archival documents, reports, and utilitarian signage, while still feeling appropriate for contemporary editorial styling when a dry, factual mood is desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a disciplined, space-efficient slab-serif voice with a crisp, square finishing style. It prioritizes consistency and a document-like texture, aiming for dependable readability and a purposeful, utilitarian character in both text and display settings.
In running text the strong verticals and flat serifs create a steady, slightly staccato cadence, especially at larger sizes. The design’s narrow build and compact counters give it an economical presence that can feel dense if set too tightly, but visually coherent when given comfortable tracking and line spacing.
