A heavy, print-like serif with compact proportions and subtly irregular contours that feel press-printed rather than mechanically perfect. Strokes are generally thick with gentle modulation, and terminals often swell or flatten, producing a slightly “blunted” finish. Serifs are short and bracketed, with wedge-like feet on many capitals; curves (C, G, O, Q) are broad and open, while joins and corners show softened, inked-in shaping. The lowercase is sturdy and readable, with a two-storey a, a looped g, and a strong, round i/j dot; figures are rounded and weighty, with an old-style, stamped presence.
Well suited to editorial headlines and subheads where a robust, vintage voice is desired, and for posters or book covers that benefit from a stamped or typewriter-like character. It can also work for packaging and labels aiming for an artisanal or heritage feel, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the textured details read clearly.
The overall tone is classic and workmanlike, evoking typewriter and letterpress textures with a deliberately roughened, no-nonsense confidence. It feels familiar and archival—more “document” than “display”—yet bold enough to project a rustic, handmade edge.
The design appears intended to combine a conventional serif skeleton with an intentionally inked, slightly uneven finish, creating a dependable reading structure while adding the character of older printing methods. Its sturdy weight and compact rhythm suggest an emphasis on impact and authenticity over pristine neutrality.
Spacing reads slightly tight and the color is dense, giving paragraphs a strong typographic voice. The irregularities are consistent across glyphs, suggesting an intentional distressed/inked effect rather than random noise, and helping large text feel lively without losing legibility.
