A restrained slab-serif with largely monoline strokes and sturdy, bracketed serifs. The uppercase is tall and relatively narrow, with compact sidebearings and a crisp, vertical rhythm. Curves are clean and moderately rounded, while terminals and serifs stay blunt and rectangular, giving the forms a firm baseline presence. Lowercase shapes read straightforward and utilitarian, with simple joins and minimal flourish; numerals follow the same even-stroke logic and sit comfortably with the text color.
Works well for editorial and document typography where a disciplined, no-nonsense slab serif is desired—books, reports, instructions, and other long-form reading with a traditional voice. It can also suit headings and pull quotes when paired with generous leading to keep the texture open.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and editorial—practical, slightly vintage, and matter-of-fact rather than expressive. Its steady vertical cadence and blunt serifs evoke documents, forms, and classic printed ephemera.
The design appears intended to deliver a functional slab-serif reading face with a typewriter-like regularity and strong baseline structure, prioritizing consistent rhythm and clear, sturdy letterforms over decorative detailing.
In the text sample, the font maintains an even color and consistent texture across mixed-case passages. The tall, compact capitals and tight internal counters can make dense lines feel busy at small sizes, while the slab serifs help keep letterforms distinct in longer settings.
