A compact slab serif with square, unbracketed terminals and a crisp, rectilinear construction. Strokes stay relatively even, with subtle modulation and firm horizontal slabs that read clearly at text sizes. Proportions are condensed with tight sidebearings, and the overall rhythm is steady and mechanical rather than calligraphic. Lowercase forms are straightforward and sturdy, with a two-storey “a” and compact bowls that keep counters controlled and vertical stems prominent.
Works well for dense paragraphs, editorial layouts, and documentation where a compact footprint and clear word shapes are helpful. Its sturdy slabs and controlled texture also suit forms, tables, captions, labeling systems, and other information-forward design contexts.
The tone is practical and matter-of-fact, evoking typed documents, labels, and editorial markup. Its firm slabs and condensed spacing give it a no-nonsense presence that feels organized and dependable, with a faint vintage/industrial flavor.
Designed to deliver a compact, highly legible slab-serif voice with a typed, utilitarian character. The emphasis appears to be on consistent texture and reliable readability, pairing a classic slab structure with restrained detailing for everyday text and functional typography.
The numerals appear tabular in feel and visually consistent with the letterforms, reinforcing a structured, data-friendly texture. Capitals are clean and disciplined, and the squared serifs add a subtle texture line across words without becoming decorative.
