A clean slab serif with crisp, unbracketed square terminals and a horizontally extended stance. Strokes remain even and restrained, creating a calm rhythm with low modulation and smooth, rounded bowls. The letterforms are wide with generous internal space and a relatively tall x-height, while ascenders and capitals stay tidy and controlled. Serifs read as flat, straight accents rather than calligraphic details, giving the design a precise, constructed feel.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and brand systems that want a modern slab-serif voice without heaviness. It can also work in editorial subheads and pull quotes where its wide proportions and open shapes can breathe, and in packaging or signage where crisp terminals and clear silhouettes are beneficial.
The overall tone is contemporary and systematic, with a subtle industrial/architectural flavor. Its broad proportions and squared-off endings give it a confident, engineered character that feels more modern than literary, while the light color keeps it airy and refined.
The design appears intended to merge the authority and structure of a slab serif with a lighter, more spacious contemporary fit. Its extended proportions and square, unbracketed serifs suggest a focus on clean geometry, consistency, and a distinctive display presence.
Diagonal letters and joins keep a sharp, geometric logic, and the numerals follow the same extended, open construction for consistent texture. At text sizes the wide set and open counters support clarity, but the long measure suggests it will feel most controlled with comfortable line spacing and moderate line lengths.
