A monoline slab-serif with squared-off terminals and assertive, blocky serifs that read clearly at text sizes. Strokes are largely even, with straight-sided verticals and horizontals and gently rounded corners on curved forms, producing a clean mechanical rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and steady, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and straightforward construction, keeping counters open and legible. Numerals are simple and workmanlike, with consistent stroke endings and a slightly engineered, table-friendly feel.
Well suited to editorial layouts, manuals, and documentation where a stable, consistent texture matters. The squared serifs and straightforward figures also make it a natural fit for forms, labels, and UI-like tables, and it can lend a typewritten clarity to captions or code-adjacent snippets.
The overall tone is pragmatic and no-nonsense, evoking typewriter and forms-driven printing. Its squared serifs and disciplined spacing convey a technical, archival mood that feels both retro and dependable rather than decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver a sturdy slab-serif voice with square-ended detail, prioritizing clarity and a consistent typographic rhythm in continuous reading. Its restrained, systematic shapes suggest an intention to reference utilitarian printing traditions while remaining clean and contemporary in use.
The design’s repeating square terminals create a strong horizontal emphasis and a predictable texture in paragraphs, helping long runs of text maintain an even color. Curves (like C, G, O, and e) are controlled and restrained, balancing the rigid slab structure with just enough rounding for readability.
