This typeface is a compact slab-serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and mostly square-cut terminals. Strokes are fairly even with minimal modulation, giving the letters a firm, graphic silhouette and consistent color in text. The proportions are condensed with tight sidebearings, while counters remain open enough for clarity. Details lean rectilinear—flat tops, straight-sided stems, and angular joins—balanced by gently rounded curves in letters like C, O, and S. Numerals follow the same robust, straightforward construction and sit comfortably alongside the capitals.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where a compact footprint and strong letterforms help maximize impact in limited space. It also fits editorial typography, pull quotes, and packaging or label-style applications where a sturdy slab-serif voice supports clear hierarchy and legibility.
The overall tone is solid and no-nonsense, with an editorial and institutional feel. Its crisp slabs and compact rhythm read as confident and traditional, suggesting reliability and emphasis without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif texture with a compact set width and assertive, square-ended detailing. It prioritizes clear structure and consistent rhythm for prominent text settings while keeping enough openness to remain readable across longer passages.
In the sample text, the font maintains an even texture across long lines and holds up well at display sizes, where the blocky serifs and compact widths become a defining feature. The uppercase presence is strong, while lowercase forms keep a pragmatic, readable structure with clear differentiation between similar shapes.
