A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions, low stroke contrast, and firm, rectangular serifs that read as confident and mechanical. The letterforms balance squared-off structure with gently rounded curves, producing clean joins and a consistent rhythm. Counters are generous and apertures stay fairly open, helping keep forms clear even at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same robust, no-nonsense construction, with clear differentiation and stable, horizontal footing.
Well-suited for editorial typography where a sturdy, readable serif is needed—magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes—especially when paired with generous leading. Its broad, assertive shapes also make it effective for headlines, packaging copy, and short display lines that benefit from a dependable, slightly retro voice.
The overall tone feels pragmatic and editorial, with a subtle typewriter and mid‑century industrial flavor. It projects reliability and straightforwardness rather than delicacy, giving text a grounded, workmanlike presence.
The design appears aimed at combining the familiarity of slab-serif typography with a clean, modernized construction, delivering reliable legibility and a confident texture for both text and display use.
Spacing appears even and calm in running text, with a steady baseline and consistent serif treatment that supports a cohesive texture. The wide stance and slab detailing add emphasis and a slightly poster-like solidity without becoming heavy or condensed.
