A compact slab-serif design with sturdy, square-ended serifs and generally even stroke weight. The shapes feel constructed and slightly mechanical, with blunt terminals, tight apertures, and a modest, efficient rhythm in text. Curves are kept controlled rather than calligraphic, and counters read cleanly even with the narrow proportions. Overall spacing appears practical and consistent, supporting a dense, economical setting.
Well-suited to typewriter-inspired layouts, editorial typography, and compact headlines where a solid slab presence is desired. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from blunt, durable letterforms and a dense, efficient footprint.
The tone leans typewriter and industrial: straightforward, workmanlike, and a bit retro. It carries an archival/editorial character that suggests forms, records, and utilitarian print, while still feeling confident enough for display lines.
The design intention reads as a practical slab-serif built for clear, compact setting with a distinctly mechanical, typewriter-adjacent voice. It prioritizes sturdy construction and consistent rhythm over ornamental detail, aiming for reliable readability with a recognizable utilitarian personality.
Uppercase forms appear firm and upright with prominent slabs that anchor the baseline and cap line. Numerals are clear and sturdy, matching the same squared-off, pragmatic detailing seen in the letters.
