A crisp slab-serif with mostly monolinear strokes and a distinctly rectilinear construction. Serifs are square-ended and largely unbracketed, giving stems and crossbars a firm, engineered finish without feeling heavy. The roman shapes are straightforward and readable, with open counters, moderate apertures, and tidy joins; curves are smooth but kept taut, and terminals resolve cleanly into flat ends. Numerals follow the same disciplined rhythm, with simple geometry and consistent alignment that keeps running text orderly.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, books, and long-form reading where a steady rhythm and clear forms matter. It also works effectively in reports, institutional materials, and brand systems that want a dependable slab-serif voice for headlines and subheads alongside text.
The overall tone is composed and traditional, projecting an academic, bookish confidence with a lightly utilitarian edge. Its straight serifs and restrained detailing add a sense of structure and seriousness, while the even color keeps it calm and approachable in longer reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a no-nonsense slab-serif reading experience: structured letterforms, clean terminals, and consistent spacing that keep text sharp and controlled across sizes.
In the sample text, the type maintains an even texture across lines, with clear word shapes and stable spacing that supports sustained reading. The flat serifs and square terminals add a subtle typewriter-like firmness without introducing overt novelty.
