A pragmatic slab serif with square, unbracketed terminals and a largely monoline construction. The letterforms are built from straight stems and gently rounded bowls, producing a clean, steady rhythm in text. Serifs are short and blocky with flat ends, and joins stay crisp rather than calligraphic. Proportions feel slightly condensed in many glyphs, with open apertures and simple, legible shapes across the uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
This font suits editorial settings where a distinctive but disciplined slab serif is desired, such as magazines, books, and long-form articles. It also works well for manuals, interfaces, forms, and technical documentation where clarity and consistent alphanumeric styling matter.
The tone is functional and matter-of-fact, evoking typewriter and industrial signage cues without feeling overly distressed or ornamental. Its restrained geometry and squared finishing give it a technical, editorial voice that reads as dependable and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver straightforward readability with a recognizable slab-serif signature, balancing crisp, squared terminals with calm, rounded inner shapes for comfortable text setting.
The sample text shows even color and consistent spacing that supports continuous reading. Numerals share the same squared, sturdy detailing as the letters, helping mixed alphanumeric content feel cohesive.
