A compact slab-serif with sturdy, blocky serifs and predominantly straight, square-ended terminals. Strokes read largely even in weight, with subtle modulation and slightly softened joins that keep the texture from feeling mechanical. Counters are fairly open for the narrow proportions, while curves (notably in O/C/G and the lowercase bowls) stay controlled and upright, producing a steady, workmanlike rhythm. The numerals are simple and robust, matching the letterforms’ squared details and firm baseline presence.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine text, and utilitarian print contexts where a sturdy serif texture is desired. It can also perform nicely in headings, captions, labels, and packaging copy that benefits from a compact footprint and a typewriter-adjacent voice.
The overall tone feels practical and familiar, evoking typewriter and printed-office ephemera aesthetics. Its restrained, square serif language conveys reliability and matter-of-fact clarity, with a slightly vintage, archival character rather than a glossy contemporary polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, space-efficient slab-serif for text and display, combining even stroke weight with strong square serifs to produce a clear, sturdy reading texture. Its details suggest an aim toward a classic, workhorse feel—practical, legible, and subtly vintage.
In text, the font builds a consistent, slightly dense color that suits compact setting; the slab serifs help maintain word-shape clarity at larger paragraph sizes and in headings. The crisp terminals and squared accents give it a mildly industrial edge without becoming overtly decorative.
