A streamlined slab serif with even, steady strokes and square-ended serifs that read as firm but not heavy. Proportions feel contemporary and balanced, with generous round forms (notably in C, G, O, Q) and a controlled, slightly geometric construction. Terminals are clean and flat, curves are smooth, and the overall rhythm is regular with clear spacing and open counters. The lowercase is straightforward and highly legible, with a simple two-storey-style structure avoided in favor of single-storey forms where applicable (notably a and g), contributing to a calm, workmanlike texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial systems, brand typography, and interface settings where a sturdy serif presence is desired without sacrificing clarity. It can carry headlines with confident structure and also holds together in longer reading thanks to its even color and open internal spaces. The straightforward numerals make it a solid choice for informational design and wayfinding.
The tone is practical and modern with an editorial polish: assertive enough for headings but restrained and calm in paragraphs. The slab serifs add a sense of stability and credibility, while the clean drawing and open shapes keep it approachable rather than nostalgic.
Designed to provide a dependable slab-serif voice that feels contemporary and versatile. The intent appears to be a neutral, highly readable workhorse style that adds structure and authority while staying visually clean and system-friendly.
Figures are clear and contemporary with simple, readable silhouettes and minimal ornament. The overall impression is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, favoring clarity and uniformity over expressive modulation.
