A wide, readable slab serif with sturdy stems and confidently weighted, flat-ended serifs. The design shows moderate stroke modulation and a calm, upright axis, with a notably tall x-height and open counters that keep text clear at size. Serifs feel mostly squared and pragmatic, with subtle bracketing and small ink-trap-like notches at joins that add crispness in print. Overall proportions run broad with ample sidebearings, producing an airy, even rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to editorial typography where a sturdy slab can carry long passages without feeling heavy, as well as display settings that benefit from width and presence. It can work well for magazine layouts, book interiors, pull quotes, and branding applications that want a practical, heritage-leaning voice.
The tone lands between typewriter practicality and traditional editorial authority. Its broad stance and firm slabs convey steadiness and clarity, while the slightly mechanical detailing lends a no-nonsense, utilitarian character. The result feels familiar and dependable rather than flashy.
This font appears designed to combine the solidity of a slab serif with generous width and a tall lowercase for high legibility. The squared finishing and crisp join details suggest an intention to perform reliably in text while retaining a subtly utilitarian, print-forward personality.
In the sample text, the wide set and tall lowercase create a strong horizontal texture and comfortable line-to-line separation. Round forms stay smooth and open, and the numerals match the letters with similarly sturdy, squared finishing, supporting consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
