A compact serif with slab-like, bracketed serifs and softly rounded terminals that keep the texture gentle rather than rigid. Strokes read largely even in weight with minimal modulation, producing a steady, typographic color across lines. Proportions are slightly condensed and vertical, with sturdy stems and clear, open counters; the lowercase shows a double-storey “g” and simple, workmanlike “a”. Numerals are straightforward and legible, matching the pragmatic rhythm of the letters.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady, no-nonsense texture is desired. It also fits instructional or administrative materials—forms, labels, and UI copy that benefits from clear letterforms with a touch of classic character.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and institutional—practical, familiar, and quietly nostalgic. Its softened slab details add warmth, giving it an approachable, editorial voice rather than a sharp, formal one.
The design appears intended to blend the sturdy presence of a slab serif with softened detailing for comfortable, everyday readability. Its condensed rhythm and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on efficiency and legibility while evoking a familiar, typewriter-like tradition.
Serifs are consistently pronounced with rounded joins, helping prevent harsh corners at text sizes. Spacing appears measured and even, supporting continuous reading while still retaining a distinctive, slightly mechanical character.
