A wide, lightly built slab serif with square, unbracketed terminals and a largely monoline stroke. The design favors expansive proportions and generous spacing, with round, open bowls (notably in C, O, e, and 0) contrasted by flat, horizontal slabs on stems and crossbars. Curves are smooth and slightly softened, while joins remain crisp and rectilinear, giving a steady, mechanical rhythm. Numerals are broad and clear, with simple, horizontal-anchored forms and consistent stroke endings.
This font suits headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display settings where a broad, sturdy serif presence is desired without heavy weight. It can work for book covers and branding that want an academic or typewriter-adjacent feel, and it remains readable in short to medium passages when set with comfortable line length.
The overall tone feels retro and utilitarian, evoking mid‑century printing and typewriter-influenced typography while staying clean enough for contemporary editorial use. Its wide stance and calm, even color lend it a composed, slightly formal character with a touch of vintage charm.
The design appears intended to blend the sturdiness of slab serifs with wide, open letterforms to achieve clarity and a recognizable vintage-print personality. Its consistent stroke treatment and square terminals emphasize structure and legibility while maintaining an approachable, rounded warmth in the curves.
The face reads best when allowed horizontal room: wide capitals, ample apertures, and prominent slabs create a stable line while keeping the texture airy. The mix of rounded internal shapes with firm, square serifs produces a distinctive, mildly quirky voice without becoming decorative.
