A compact slab-serif with sturdy, mostly uniform strokes and clearly articulated, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are tall and economical, with tight proportions and a steady vertical emphasis that creates a disciplined texture in text. Curves are firm rather than calligraphic, terminals are blunt and squared, and counters stay relatively open for the width, giving the design a crisp, mechanical rhythm. Figures follow the same no-nonsense construction, with simple, readable shapes that match the font’s overall sturdiness.
Works well for editorial paragraphs, book interiors, and other text-forward layouts where a firm, structured serif texture is desirable. It also suits utilitarian applications like forms, instructions, labeling, and small headings where a compact footprint and clear letter shapes help maintain readability.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and archival—practical, slightly nostalgic, and matter-of-fact. Its consistent stroke weight and strong serifs evoke printed documents, labels, and editorial settings where clarity and structure are valued over flourish.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, print-oriented slab-serif voice with a compact footprint and dependable legibility. Its restrained detailing and steady rhythm suggest an emphasis on practical typography for documents and editorial composition with a subtle vintage/typewritten flavor.
In running text the serifs create a pronounced baseline and capline, helping lines feel anchored and evenly tracked. The mix of straight stems and controlled curvature produces a restrained, workmanlike personality that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
