A sturdy slab-serif with low stroke contrast and clearly bracketed, blocky serifs. Curves are round and generously open, while joins and terminals feel slightly softened rather than razor-sharp, giving the texture a mildly inked, print-like look. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and straightforward letterforms; spacing reads even and the rhythm is steady in paragraphs. Figures are simple and utilitarian, matching the text’s no-nonsense construction.
Well suited to body copy in editorial layouts, textbooks, reports, and other text-heavy settings where a firm serif texture helps guide the eye. It can also work for straightforward headings, captions, and UI/print documents that benefit from a rugged, traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is pragmatic and familiar, evoking editorial and office typography with a subtle vintage/typewriter flavor. It feels dependable and legible rather than showy, with a calm, earnest presence suited to long-form reading.
Designed to provide a dependable slab-serif alternative for everyday typography, prioritizing clarity and consistent texture in continuous reading. The softened details suggest an intention to feel printed and approachable while maintaining a robust, structured backbone.
The slab structure stays consistent across uppercase and lowercase, creating a uniform, sturdy color on the page. Round letters (like O/C) keep a friendly openness, while flat serifs and squared shoulders reinforce a grounded, workhorse character.
