A sturdy slab-serif with broad, squared serifs and gently softened corners that keep the texture firm without feeling harsh. Strokes are fairly even with low contrast, and curves are round and open, giving the letters a clear, workmanlike rhythm in text. Spacing is moderately generous and the letterforms read wide and stable, with compact joins and consistent terminals that create an even, confident color across lines. Numerals match the same robust, slightly rounded slab construction for cohesive paragraph settings.
Well-suited to body copy and long-form reading where a firm, grounded serif helps guide the eye, especially in editorial and book typography. It also works well for straightforward brand materials—reports, instructions, and packaging—where a sturdy, no-nonsense voice and clear numerals are important.
The overall tone is practical and dependable, with a subtle typewriter and classic editorial feel. It communicates solidity and clarity rather than elegance, making it feel familiar and straightforward on the page.
Likely intended as a plainspoken slab serif that prioritizes clarity, durability, and consistent texture across paragraphs, while retaining a lightly nostalgic, typewriter-adjacent character for familiar editorial presence.
In the sample text, the font maintains a steady, readable texture at display sizes, with slabs providing strong horizontal anchoring and clear word shapes. The punctuation and figures appear designed to sit comfortably alongside the lowercase, supporting utilitarian, text-forward layouts.
