A sturdy serif with chunky, square-ended slabs and little to no bracketing, giving the strokes a blunt, cut-out feel. Stroke weight is generally even but with visible optical adjustments at joins and curves, producing a slightly irregular rhythm. Capitals are wide and confident with squared terminals, while lowercase forms are compact and readable with a moderate x-height and fairly open counters. Numerals are bold and rounded where needed, maintaining the same blocky serif treatment and a consistent, slightly wavy baseline impression in text.
Well-suited to display use such as posters, headlines, and pull quotes where its blocky serifs and textured rhythm can be appreciated. It also fits branding and packaging that want a vintage or craft-forward voice, and can work in editorial settings for short to medium passages when a warm, retro tone is desired.
The overall tone is nostalgic and workmanlike, reminiscent of typewriter and vintage print ephemera. Its blunt slabs and subtly uneven rhythm create a handmade, approachable character that feels casual rather than formal.
The design appears intended to evoke classic slab-serif durability with a typewriter-like, slightly imperfect print texture. It prioritizes strong shapes and a friendly, nostalgic voice over pristine uniformity, aiming for characterful readability in display and text-like settings.
The face shows strong silhouette emphasis: squared-off terminals, robust serifs, and generous weight give it good presence in short lines. In paragraphs, the slightly irregular cadence adds texture, making it feel lively and informal rather than strictly mechanical.
