A wide, low-contrast slab serif with square, unbracketed terminals and a steady, monoline-like stroke rhythm. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with open bowls and counters, and the caps present a strong horizontal emphasis through flat serifs and long cross-strokes. Curves are smooth but restrained, while joins and terminals stay crisp and rectilinear, producing a sturdy, engineered texture. Spacing reads generous and even, and the numerals follow the same wide, flat-footed construction for consistent color in text.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, magazine typography, and brand systems that want a sturdy slab serif with a familiar, utilitarian character. Its width and strong terminals also work well for headlines, posters, and packaging where a grounded, retro-industrial tone is desired.
The overall tone feels functional and workmanlike, evoking typewritten and mid-century industrial lettering without leaning into ornament. Its broad stance and firm slabs give it an authoritative, slightly retro voice that still reads clean and matter-of-fact. The result is confident and practical rather than delicate or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif voice with typewriter-adjacent practicality, prioritizing clarity and consistent rhythm over contrast or finesse. Its wide stance and square serifs suggest an aim toward dependable readability and a distinctly mechanical, no-nonsense presence across display and text sizes.
In paragraph setting, the face maintains a calm, even typographic color with clear word shapes and distinct serifs that help guide the eye along the line. The wide proportions make it feel expansive and stable, and the slab terminals add emphasis to baselines and caps for a grounded look.
