A light, evenly weighted serif with pronounced slab terminals and softly rounded corners. Strokes keep a consistent thickness with minimal contrast, and the serifs read as sturdy horizontal feet and caps that broaden the silhouette without feeling heavy. Proportions are comfortably wide with generous counters and open apertures, producing an airy texture in text. Curves are smooth and restrained, while joins and terminals stay blunt and mechanical, creating a steady, even rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even color and open forms support comfortable scanning. The slab terminals also make it effective for headings, captions, and packaging copy that benefits from a printed, slightly vintage voice. It can work in clear informational contexts—labels, menus, and simple signage—where legibility and a steady texture matter.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and quietly utilitarian, balancing a technical, printed-in-ink character with approachable warmth. Its steady rhythm and modest detailing evoke editorial and archival contexts—measured, dependable, and slightly nostalgic rather than sleek or flashy.
This design appears intended to blend practical readability with a subtle typewriter-inspired, slab-serif personality. The consistent stroke weight and sturdy terminals prioritize clarity and regularity, while rounded details soften the mechanical feel for friendly, everyday typography.
The face maintains a consistent, structured cadence in running text, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (notably in the numerals) and a generally open, uncluttered interior space. The slab terminals add horizontal emphasis that supports clarity at medium sizes and gives headings a crisp, composed presence.
