A sturdy slab-serif with broad, square-ended serifs and mostly uniform stroke weight. The letterforms are upright with generous spacing and open counters, giving a clear, steady texture in text. Serifs appear lightly bracketed in places rather than razor-sharp, and terminals stay clean and flat, reinforcing a structured, architectural feel. Lowercase forms read straightforward and traditional, with a readable rhythm and a pragmatic, workmanlike construction.
Well suited for editorial settings like magazines, newspapers, and long-form reading where a firm serif presence is desired without heavy contrast. It can also serve effectively for headings and subheads, institutional branding, and straightforward signage where clarity and a confident, structured tone are important.
The overall tone feels classic and pragmatic—more newsroom and textbook than boutique. Its slab structure conveys reliability and authority, while the open, even color keeps it approachable rather than ornate. It suggests a slightly vintage, industrial sensibility without becoming stylized or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice with clean, square terminals and an even, readable texture. It prioritizes clarity and consistency over decorative detailing, aiming for a practical typewriter- or print-inspired solidity appropriate for contemporary editorial work.
In the sample text, the face maintains a consistent typographic color and steady baseline behavior, producing an even paragraph texture. Numerals are clear and simply drawn, matching the same sturdy slab vocabulary as the letters.
