A sturdy serif with slab-like, bracketed feet and a largely monoline stroke that keeps color even across text. Serifs are short and squared but softened by rounding and subtle bracketing, giving corners a gently worn, inked-in look. Counters are open and oval, curves are smooth rather than mechanical, and joins stay clean with minimal contrast. Proportions read as practical and slightly roomy, with a modest x-height and a steady rhythm that remains legible in continuous text.
Performs well in body text and longer editorial settings where an even, steady texture and clear letterforms are important. It also suits book covers, packaging, and poster headlines when a slightly retro, print-first voice is desired without drifting into high-contrast elegance.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and editorial, with a calm, workmanlike presence. Its softened slabs and slightly vintage detailing suggest archival print, stationery, and familiar book typography rather than sleek contemporary branding.
The design appears intended to evoke dependable print typography with typewriter and slab-serif cues, balancing robustness with softened details for comfortable reading. It prioritizes clarity, consistent color, and a familiar, traditional character that adapts from text to modest display sizes.
Capitals appear solid and upright with confident horizontals; numerals are clear and straightforward, matching the same softened slab treatment. The design’s rounded edges help prevent the serifs from feeling overly sharp, keeping the texture friendly while still authoritative.
