This is a sturdy slab serif with broad proportions, even rhythm, and clearly bracketed, blocky serifs. Strokes are fairly consistent with modest contrast, and many terminals end in rounded, softened corners that keep the texture friendly rather than rigid. The letterforms emphasize wide bowls and open counters, with a straightforward, upright construction and conventional proportions that read cleanly in paragraphs. Numerals are similarly robust and legible, matching the same slab-footed structure and softened detailing.
It suits editorial and long-form reading where a firm, structured serif texture is desirable, such as magazines, reports, and documentation. The clear shapes and open counters also make it a solid option for interfaces, forms, and information design where legibility and a no-nonsense tone matter.
The overall tone feels dependable and workmanlike, with a mild typewriter and newsroom sensibility. Its wide stance and sturdy slabs suggest clarity and authority, while the rounded corners add an approachable, slightly retro warmth.
The design appears intended as a versatile slab serif for everyday typography—prioritizing readability, consistency, and a familiar, dependable voice while adding subtle warmth through rounded details.
In the sample text, the font maintains a stable, even color and consistent spacing at larger sizes, producing a confident, readable block. The combination of heavy slabs and softened curves gives it a utilitarian presence without feeling harsh.
