A sturdy slab-serif with blocky, rectangular serifs and mostly straight, square-ended terminals. Strokes are largely monolinear with minimal contrast, producing an even color and consistent rhythm in text. The letterforms mix broad, open curves (C, O) with firm verticals and hard corners, while counters stay generous and readable. The lowercase shows traditional proportions with a moderate x-height, compact apertures, and straightforward, unsentimental shaping; figures are robust and align well with the overall texture.
Works well for body text in print-forward contexts such as books, editorial layouts, and newspaper-style typography where an even texture and strong serifs aid readability. It also suits technical documentation, forms, and utilitarian branding that benefits from a sturdy, grounded presence.
The overall tone is practical and dependable, with a strong typewriter/editorial flavor. Its blunt slabs and steady rhythm give it an authoritative, no-nonsense voice that feels archival and familiar rather than delicate or fashion-forward.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust reading face with a typewriter-informed slab-serif character, emphasizing consistency, durability, and clear structure over calligraphic nuance or high-contrast refinement.
In the sample text, the face holds up well at larger sizes, where the squared serifs and compact joins become a defining feature. The dense, even texture suggests it can maintain clarity in longer passages without relying on high contrast for definition.
