A monoline slab serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs that are subtly rounded and lightly bracketed into the stems. The design keeps contrast low and stroke endings soft, producing a calm, even texture. Capitals are open and classical in proportion, while the lowercase feels compact with a comparatively short x-height and clear, straight-sided verticals. Counters are roomy and the overall rhythm is steady, with comfortable sidebearings that help the text breathe in paragraph settings.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady, low-contrast texture supports comfort. It also works nicely for academic or institutional materials, captions, and utilitarian documents that benefit from a typewriter-like clarity without looking overly rigid.
The face reads as practical and familiar, with a distinctly typewriter- and publishing-adjacent tone. Its softened slabs temper the mechanical feel, adding a gentle warmth that still stays matter-of-fact and legible.
The design appears intended to deliver a reliable slab-serif voice that bridges typewriter practicality and traditional text typography. Softened terminals and generous spacing suggest an emphasis on readability and an approachable, slightly nostalgic tone.
Numerals are simple and readable with old-style charm, pairing well with the lowercase. The rounded serif corners and consistent stroke weight keep forms from feeling harsh, even at larger display sizes.
