A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, blocky serifs and a consistent, low-contrast stroke structure. Forms are generously proportioned and wide-set, with open counters and a steady, even rhythm across lines. Terminals and serifs read as squared-off but softened by subtle rounding, giving the shapes a slightly worn, print-like texture rather than a razor-sharp geometric feel. The overall construction favors clarity and regularity, with straightforward curves and minimal modulation throughout.
It works well for text-heavy layouts that need a familiar, dependable voice—editorial pages, reports, manuals, and academic material. The steady rhythm and clear letterforms also suit UI labeling and code-adjacent contexts where consistent alignment and legibility are priorities.
The tone is practical and workmanlike, evoking typed documents and traditional editorial settings. Its italic slant adds momentum and emphasis while maintaining a composed, institutional character suited to serious, text-forward communication.
The design appears intended to blend typewriter-like pragmatism with the authority of a slab serif, offering emphasis through slant without sacrificing structural stability. It aims for readable, consistent typography that feels archival and document-native rather than decorative.
Numerals are clear and sturdy with strong horizontal bases, and the punctuation in the sample text reinforces a disciplined, document-oriented voice. The spacing and width create a measured, methodical cadence that stays consistent over longer passages.
