A crisp slab serif with squared, flat-ended serifs and terminals that give a clean, engineered footprint. Strokes are relatively uniform with minimal modulation, and the overall drawing favors straight stems, firm horizontals, and neatly cut corners. Proportions feel compact and efficient, with open counters and clear interior space that keeps small details from clogging. The lowercase shows sturdy, straightforward forms and a practical rhythm, while capitals keep a slightly condensed, vertical posture that reads cleanly in lines of text.
Well-suited to body copy in books, longform editorial layouts, and documentation where a steady rhythm and clear letterforms matter. It can also work effectively for captions, footnotes, and informational UI text where a subtle slab character adds structure without becoming loud.
The tone is matter-of-fact and literate, evoking reference books, technical documents, and classic editorial typography. Its squared slabs add a subtle industrial pragmatism, while the overall lightness keeps the voice calm and unobtrusive.
The design appears intended to deliver dependable readability with a subtle slab-serif identity—combining straightforward, utilitarian letter construction with crisp, square-ended detailing for a disciplined, professional texture in text.
Numerals are simple and legible with consistent stroke endings, and the punctuation and dotted forms look sharp and controlled. The overall spacing appears even, supporting a steady text color without feeling overly mechanical.
