A compact slab serif with sturdy, blocky bracketed serifs and an even, low-contrast stroke structure. The letterforms are upright with a relatively tight set and a slightly condensed feel, producing a steady vertical rhythm in text. Curves are controlled and fairly closed, terminals are blunt, and joins stay crisp, giving the design a firm, workmanlike texture. Numerals and capitals read clearly with consistent serif treatment and pragmatic proportions.
Well-suited to dense reading environments such as editorial copy, reports, manuals, and documentation where a firm serif presence helps guide the eye. It can also work for headings and labels when a sturdy, traditional tone is desired without drawing attention to stylistic quirks.
The overall tone feels practical and no-nonsense, with a subtle vintage/typing-era flavor. It projects reliability and clarity rather than elegance, leaning toward an editorial and institutional voice.
Likely intended as a dependable, general-purpose slab serif that prioritizes clarity and consistency across long passages while retaining a classic, workhorse character.
In running text the compact spacing and strong serifs create a textured color that holds together well, while the straightforward shapes keep wordforms stable and familiar. The design balances readability with a slightly mechanical firmness that suits structured layouts.
