A compact slab serif with strong, squared serifs and a steady vertical stance. Strokes are sturdy and fairly even, with subtle modulation and clear, blocky terminals that keep counters open. The letterforms favor straight-sided geometry and condensed proportions, producing a tight rhythm in words and headlines. Numerals and capitals read particularly solid, while the lowercase maintains straightforward shapes and pragmatic spacing.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and short blocks where a dense, assertive texture is desirable. It can also serve packaging, labels, signage, and editorial display work that benefits from a sturdy slab serif voice and compact width.
The overall tone feels no-nonsense and workmanlike, with a faint vintage print flavor. Its dense color and firm serifs suggest reliability and authority, lending a classic editorial and industrial character rather than a delicate or ornamental one.
This design appears intended as a dependable, plainspoken slab serif for impactful display and titling, balancing strong serifs and compact proportions to deliver confident legibility and a consistent, print-friendly texture.
The serifs are prominent and squared, giving lines a planted baseline and consistent texture. Round letters stay relatively compact, contributing to the font’s tight, efficient silhouette and strong presence in darker settings.
