A heavy, text-oriented serif with rounded, bracketed serifs and softly blunted terminals that give the outlines a slightly stamped or inked feel. Strokes are robust with moderate contrast, and many joins show subtle notches and interior scoops that echo typewriter-era cutting and inking behavior. The proportions are open and readable, with sturdy verticals, generous curves, and a steady rhythm across the alphabet; numerals are similarly solid, with a clear, straightforward structure.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and display lines that benefit from a strong, inky presence. It can also support heritage-leaning branding and packaging where a typewriter/print-shop flavor and high legibility are desirable.
The face reads as practical and dependable with a nostalgic, mechanical warmth. Its softened edges and inky details suggest printed matter and office hardware rather than polished luxury, creating an approachable, retro editorial tone.
Likely drawn to capture a classic printed-text voice with a tougher, more mechanical texture than a refined book serif. The rounded serifs and inky notches appear intended to maintain clarity while adding vintage character and a bold, confident page color.
Round letters like O and Q are broad and stable, with the Q using a short, integrated tail. Lowercase forms lean traditional and sturdy; the two-storey a and single-storey g reinforce a text-serif sensibility while keeping a slightly utilitarian, stamped character. The overall color on the page is dark and even, making it visually assertive in paragraphs and headings.
