A slab-serif design with sturdy rectangular serifs and low stroke modulation, drawn with an intentionally irregular, constructed feel. Many joins and terminals show small notches and cut-in details that create a slightly stencil-like, segmented impression, while corners often soften into gentle rounds. Proportions read on the wider side with open counters and a steady, upright rhythm; the overall spacing feels robust and utilitarian rather than delicate.
Best suited to display settings where its unusual slab details can be seen—headlines, posters, packaging, and editorial feature work. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when you want a sturdy, characterful voice rather than a neutral workhorse.
The font projects a quirky, retro tone that blends typewriter practicality with a deliberately odd, engineered personality. Its notched constructions and chunky slabs add a playful, slightly offbeat character that can feel archival, mechanical, or handcrafted depending on context.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic slab and typewriter cues through unconventional, notched constructions, creating a distinctive texture that stands out in branding and display typography while remaining legible at typical text sizes.
Distinctive cut-ins appear across both uppercase and lowercase, giving the texture a consistent “constructed” motif. Numerals and punctuation carry the same blunt slabs and rounded-rectangle shapes, helping mixed text maintain a cohesive, branded look.
