A heavy, monoline slab-serif with broad proportions and a steady, typewriter-like rhythm. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, and the serifs are chunky and rounded, often appearing softly bracketed into the stems. Counters are compact and apertures tend toward closed, giving the face a dense, inky color. Overall forms are upright and sturdy, with blunt terminals and a slightly softened, stamped impression across letters and figures.
Works best where a bold, characterful slab presence is needed—posters, headlines, labels, and signage that benefit from a typewriter or vintage print feel. It can also serve short bursts of text (taglines, UI counters, badges) when a strong, uniform, monospaced cadence is desirable.
The tone reads nostalgic and mechanical, like vintage typing or rubber-stamp lettering, with a hint of old-west poster warmth. Its rounded slabs keep it approachable despite the weight, projecting a confident, rugged friendliness.
The design appears intended to combine monospaced, typewriter regularity with oversized, rounded slab serifs for maximum personality and impact. It prioritizes consistent rhythm and a bold, ink-heavy silhouette that reads quickly at larger sizes.
Details such as the single-storey lowercase "a" and "g", the compact bowls, and the squat, blocky numerals reinforce a utilitarian, display-forward character. The even advance and consistent widths create a highly regular texture that emphasizes pattern and rhythm in lines of text.
