A sturdy slab-serif with largely even stroke weight and softly rounded corners throughout. Serifs read as blunt, bracketless slabs with curved outer edges, giving the outlines a cushioned, stamped look rather than a sharp engraved one. Proportions are generous with broad capitals and open bowls; counters stay clear and the joins remain simple and robust. The lowercase shows a straightforward, workmanlike construction with single-storey forms where expected, round punctuation-like dots, and tabular-looking numerals that keep a consistent, readable rhythm in text.
Works well for packaging, labels, and branding that want a vintage-industrial or typewriter-adjacent voice without sharp edges. Its sturdy shapes and clear counters make it suitable for headlines and short editorial passages, and it can hold up in bold, high-contrast applications like posters and signage.
The overall tone feels retro and practical, recalling mechanical type and signage while staying approachable due to the rounded terminals. It conveys reliability and clarity with a slightly playful softness, making it feel less formal than traditional book slabs.
Likely intended as a contemporary, softened take on classic slab-serif and typewriter-inspired forms—prioritizing sturdy legibility and a consistent, no-nonsense rhythm while adding rounded detailing for warmth.
In the sample text, the texture is dark and steady, with strong horizontal emphasis from the slab serifs and a calm vertical cadence. The rounded detailing keeps dense settings from feeling overly harsh, helping paragraphs maintain an inviting, legible color.
