A slab-serif design with sturdy, rectangular serifs and a crisp, printlike rhythm. Strokes read mostly even, with subtle modulation and clear joins, while the serifs are firm and sometimes slightly bracketed, giving letters a stamped, mechanical finish. The uppercase is compact and authoritative, and the lowercase shows classic, readable forms with clear counters and straightforward curves; overall spacing feels measured and steady for continuous reading.
It performs well in text-forward settings where clarity and a consistent rhythm matter, such as book interiors, editorial layouts, manuals, forms, and interface copy that benefits from a straightforward, structured voice. It can also serve as a headline companion when a restrained, document-like personality is desired.
The font conveys a typewriter-adjacent, utilitarian tone—practical, archival, and a bit nostalgic. Its solid slabs and plainspoken drawing suggest paperwork, labeling, and editorial text rather than decorative display.
The design appears intended to echo the dependable clarity of typed or printed documents while retaining the solidity and structure of slab serifs. Its emphasis on firm serifs, stable proportions, and conventional letterforms prioritizes readability and an efficient, workmanlike texture on the page.
Round letters (like O/C) keep a clean, controlled geometry, while terminals and serifs stay square and emphatic, creating strong horizontal cues across words. The numerals appear clear and traditional, pairing well with the text color and reinforcing the document-like character.
