A wide, monolinear slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a steady, even rhythm. Strokes stay relatively uniform while bowls and terminals show a slightly rounded, softened geometry, producing open counters and a calm texture. Proportions run broad across both uppercase and lowercase, with generous interior space and clear, sturdy joins that keep the forms legible at text sizes. Numerals follow the same robust, simplified construction with horizontal slab terminals and ample width.
It suits editorial headlines, pull quotes, and subheads where a broad, steady slab texture can carry personality without sacrificing readability. The sturdy letterforms also work well for packaging and signage, especially when a slightly vintage, utilitarian impression is desired.
The tone feels practical and familiar, balancing a workmanlike sturdiness with a lightly retro, editorial character. Its wide stance and firm slabs suggest reliability and clarity, while the softened curves keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif voice that remains clear in continuous reading, combining straight, unbracketed serifs with softened curves for a controlled but friendly texture. Its width and open counters suggest an emphasis on presence and legibility in display and editorial settings.
The overall color is consistent and stable, with clear differentiation between similar forms and a strong baseline presence. The wide set and large internal shapes create an airy line even when the text is densely set, giving headings and short blocks a confident, measured voice.
