A compact slab-serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a steady, even stroke that reads as firm and constructed. The letters have relatively tall, straight-sided forms with tight interior spaces and a disciplined rhythm, giving text a dense, economical color. Curves are controlled rather than calligraphic, and terminals tend to finish in flat, squared ends. Numerals and capitals align with the same sturdy, workmanlike geometry, producing a consistent, no-nonsense texture in both display and paragraph settings.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where a compact, sturdy slab-serif can deliver strong presence. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a practical, print-forward tone and dependable letterforms. For longer text, it works best when you want a dense, traditional texture with clear structure and emphasis.
The overall tone feels solid and authoritative, with a classic editorial flavor reminiscent of practical printing and signage. Its compact stance and squared details suggest reliability and utility more than delicacy, lending a mildly vintage, institutional character. In longer samples it creates a confident, declarative voice with a slightly old-school edge.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, sturdy slab-serif voice that stays legible while projecting firmness and authority. Its square serifs and controlled curves aim for a straightforward, print-centric personality that performs reliably in display and editorial contexts.
The narrow proportions and firm serifs make the type appear heavier on the page than its stroke alone might suggest, especially in smaller counters and tight apertures. The design’s squared finishing and consistent vertical stress emphasize clarity and structure, while the condensed footprint helps keep lines efficient without looking fragile.
