A low-contrast slab serif with sturdy, bracketed shapes and noticeably rounded terminals that soften the overall texture. Strokes stay fairly even across curves and stems, with broad, flat-ish feet and caps that read clearly at text sizes. The design shows typewriter-like construction cues—compact joins, straightforward geometry, and simple bowls—while keeping counters open and forms generously spaced. Uppercase proportions feel stable and slightly wide, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation with a two-storey “g” and a compact, workmanlike rhythm.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a sturdy slab serif can add presence without high contrast. It also works for packaging and brand systems that want a classic typewriter/editorial signal with a friendlier edge, and for headlines that need clarity more than delicacy.
The tone is practical and familiar, evoking typewritten and newsroom-era typography while staying approachable due to its rounded corners. It feels dependable and plainspoken rather than formal, with a gently vintage, everyday character.
The design appears intended to combine the dependable legibility of a classic slab serif with rounded finishing that reduces harshness and adds warmth. Its consistent stroke weight and open forms suggest a focus on steady text performance and a recognizable, retro-leaning voice.
Numerals are robust and highly legible, matching the slab-serif structure and rounded finishing. Punctuation and spacing in the sample text read cleanly, producing an even, readable gray that holds up in paragraph settings without looking overly mechanical.
