A compact slab-serif with sturdy, mostly unbracketed serifs and a visibly vertical, disciplined stance. Strokes are relatively even with moderate contrast, producing dark, consistent texture in text. Counters are tight and shapes are squared-off in places, with flat terminals and blunt joins that emphasize a built, structural feel. The lowercase shows a traditional serif rhythm with a normal x-height, and the overall set reads crisp and emphatic rather than delicate.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where a compact, emphatic serif is needed. It can also support editorial and book-jacket applications that benefit from a strong, traditional voice and consistent texture.
The tone is authoritative and workmanlike, with an editorial seriousness that feels grounded and dependable. Its compact proportions and firm slabs convey confidence and a slightly vintage, print-forward character without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif voice in a space-saving footprint, balancing print-era authority with straightforward, squared terminals for clarity and impact.
The sample text demonstrates strong line-to-line uniformity and a steady typographic color, while the pronounced slabs keep word shapes assertive at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same sturdy logic, with simple forms and clear stress, reinforcing a practical, no-nonsense personality.
