A sturdy serif with prominent slab-like terminals and subtly bracketed joins. Curved letters are faceted into octagonal-style arcs (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the numerals), creating a crisp, mechanical rhythm. Strokes are largely even with minimal modulation, counters are open, and spacing reads steady in text. The lowercase shows traditional serif construction with compact, well-contained shapes; the dot on i/j is square, and the numerals are simple and robust with the same chamfered rounding.
Works well for editorial typography—book interiors, long-form reading, and pull quotes—where its sturdy slabs and open forms hold up at small to medium sizes. The faceted curves and strong serifs also give it presence for posters, packaging, and identity systems that want a classic, durable voice.
The overall tone feels vintage and utilitarian, like a dependable book face with a hint of industrial drafting character. The faceted curves add a slightly engineered, archival flavor that reads serious and composed rather than playful.
Likely intended as a practical, readable slab-serif with a distinctive geometric twist, combining traditional serif proportions with chamfered curves to create a recognizable texture in both display and text settings.
The design mixes conventional text-serifs with distinctive chamfered rounds, giving headings a recognizable texture while maintaining straightforward readability. Uppercase forms are clean and upright, and the set keeps a consistent weight and terminal treatment across letters and figures.
