A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions, strong rectangular serifs, and a mostly monoline rhythm. Strokes terminate in flat, blocky feet with subtle rounding and small bracket-like transitions that soften the joins. Curves are generously open and slightly squarish in their turning points, while internal corners show a faint ink-trap-like notchiness that adds texture at text sizes. Overall spacing reads roomy, with clear counters and a consistent, workmanlike texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
It performs well in long-form reading environments such as books, magazines, and articles where a firm, even texture and clear counters support legibility. The wide stance and pronounced slabs also make it effective for display uses—posters, packaging, and titling—especially when a traditional, typewriter-adjacent tone is desired.
The face conveys a classic, practical voice—evoking typed pages and print-era sturdiness—while staying clean and legible. Its robust slabs and slightly squared detailing lend a confident, no-nonsense tone that feels at home in editorial and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif for both text and display, combining robust, square-ended construction with slightly softened detailing to keep the texture readable and friendly in continuous setting.
Uppercase forms feel steady and headline-capable, while the lowercase maintains a clear, readable silhouette without becoming overly geometric. Numerals appear solid and traditional, matching the letterforms’ sturdy, flat-ended construction and maintaining an even color in running text.
