A compact slab-serif with firm, square-ended serifs and a steady, even stroke presence. The letterforms are vertically oriented and tightly proportioned, with a relatively narrow set and crisp joins that keep counters clear. Serifs read as blocky and largely unbracketed, giving stems and horizontals a sturdy, engineered rhythm. Curves are smooth but restrained, and the overall texture in paragraph setting is dark, orderly, and consistent.
Well suited to editorial typography where a compact serif voice is needed for headings, subheads, and pull quotes, and it can also serve as a robust text face at comfortable sizes. Its narrow footprint helps in space-conscious layouts, while the slab serifs give titles and posters a strong, stable presence.
The font conveys an editorial, bookish tone—serious, dependable, and slightly formal. Its squared serifs add a pragmatic, utilitarian confidence that feels at home in traditional print contexts while still reading clean and modern in its restraint.
Likely designed to deliver a practical slab-serif reading experience with a compact measure, combining traditional serif structure with crisp, squared finishing for a clear, authoritative page color.
Uppercase forms show strong, classical proportions with emphatic slab terminals, while the lowercase maintains legibility through open apertures and straightforward construction. Numerals match the same sturdy slab language, supporting clear, no-nonsense data and headings.
