A crisp slab-serif with flat, square-ended serifs and mostly uniform stroke weight. The letterforms are upright and fairly wide, with generous counters and clear, open apertures that keep texture even in longer lines. Serifs are unbracketed and blocky, giving strokes a rectilinear, engineered finish while maintaining smooth curves in round letters. The lowercase is straightforward and readable, and the numerals are clean and open, matching the same sturdy slab rhythm.
Well suited to editorial design where a sturdy slab voice is needed for headings, pull quotes, or short passages. Its open forms and steady texture also make it a solid choice for book typography, catalogs, and signage-style display lines that benefit from clear, blocky serifs.
The overall tone feels practical and editorial, with a calm, dependable presence. Its sturdy slabs and even color lend a mildly retro, typewriter-adjacent seriousness without becoming overly decorative. The font reads as confident and utilitarian, suited to content-forward typography.
Likely intended to provide a modern, highly legible slab-serif with a clean, square terminal language that holds up in both display and text settings. The design emphasizes clarity, consistency, and a confident typographic tone over ornament.
Spacing and proportions produce an even, steady line rhythm, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (notably in the capitals and numerals). The design balances square terminals with rounded bowls, creating a structured look that remains approachable in text.
