A compact slab-serif with slender stems and crisp, square-ended serifs that read as firm and mechanical. Strokes are mostly even, with subtle modulation at joins and in curved letters, keeping the texture clean rather than calligraphic. Capitals are tall and relatively narrow with restrained bracketless feet, while the lowercase is straightforward and highly legible, with single-storey forms where expected and a tidy, open rhythm. Numerals match the narrow proportions and maintain consistent, sharp terminals, producing an even, economical line in running text.
It suits long-form reading and compact layouts where economy of space matters, such as books, magazines, catalogs, and documentation. The sturdy slab endings also make it useful for labels, forms, and informational typography where clarity and alignment are priorities.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and editorial: practical, slightly retro, and composed. Its narrow build and firm slab details give it a utilitarian seriousness, suggesting precision and documentation rather than softness or play.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient slab-serif that remains readable in continuous text, combining a restrained, linear construction with clear, square serifs for structure. It prioritizes consistent rhythm and practicality, evoking a classic print or typewritten sensibility without heavy ornament.
In paragraphs the font creates a light, airy color with pronounced verticality, and the square serifs provide clear baselines and word-shape definition. The punctuation and spacing shown in the sample maintain a disciplined, orderly cadence suited to dense settings.
