A monoline slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a clean, even rhythm. Proportions run broad with generous widths and open counters, giving the face an airy texture in text. The x-height sits high, with relatively short ascenders and descenders, and the overall drawing stays crisp and upright. Curves are smooth and rational, while joins and terminals favor flat, squared-off endings that keep the letterforms steady and legible.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes—where a sturdy slab presence and open letterforms support continuous reading. Its broad proportions also make it effective for headlines, packaging, and brand wordmarks that want a vintage-leaning, dependable voice without heavy weight.
The tone feels practical and editorial, with a calm, slightly retro sensibility reminiscent of utilitarian printing and typewriter-era slabs. Its wide stance and open shapes make it read as approachable rather than formal, balancing a scholarly voice with a friendly, everyday sturdiness.
The design appears intended to deliver a straightforward slab serif with strong horizontal serifs and an even, modernized drawing that keeps text clear while adding character. The wide set and high x-height suggest a focus on readability and presence across both display lines and longer paragraphs.
The numeral set appears simple and readable with consistent stroke weight and broad silhouettes. Spacing in the samples looks comfortable, producing a clear, even color that holds up at larger sizes and remains orderly in multi-line settings.
