A slab serif with squared, unbracketed serifs and largely even stroke weight, softened by rounded corners and small notch-like joins that echo ink traps. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with straightforward curves and restrained contrast that keep letterforms crisp at text sizes. The numerals and lowercase show a practical, mechanical rhythm, while details like the hooked descenders and blunt terminals reinforce a typewritten, stamped impression.
It suits body copy where a vintage or typewriter flavor is desired, such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form pull quotes. The sturdy slabs and clear shapes also work well for packaging, headings, and signage that needs a pragmatic, slightly retro voice.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and nostalgic, evoking typewritten documents, labels, and mid-century editorial ephemera. Its blunt slabs and slightly softened joins give it an honest, workmanlike character that reads as dependable rather than elegant.
The design appears intended to capture the clarity and sturdiness of typewriter-inspired slab serifs while smoothing the geometry for comfortable reading. Its consistent stroke treatment and subtle join detailing suggest a balance between mechanical precision and a friendly, tactile finish.
Spacing and rhythm appear intentionally steady, with strong baseline presence and clear internal counters that support continuous reading. The design’s small cut-ins at junctions add texture without turning the face into a distressed style, keeping it clean while still tactile.
