A sturdy slab-serif with heavily weighted, rectangular serifs and a compact, workmanlike construction. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with strong verticals and slightly lighter curves, and many joins and terminals have a softened, slightly rounded treatment that reduces harshness. Counters are generally open and generous, while details like the short crossbars and blunt terminals keep the rhythm dense and steady. Overall spacing reads even, and the design maintains a consistent, slightly engineered feel across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Works well for editorial headlines and subheads where a strong typographic presence is needed without going fully decorative. The firm slabs and clear figures also suit posters, packaging, and brand systems that want an industrial or typewriter-adjacent flavor. It can be effective in short-to-medium text settings when a sturdy, high-contrast serif texture is desired.
The tone is practical and mechanical, reminiscent of typewriter and industrial-era printing. Its bold slabs and no-nonsense shapes give it a dependable, authoritative voice with a hint of vintage grit rather than elegance. The softer corners temper the toughness, making it feel approachable while still firm and direct.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif voice with a slightly vintage, workhorse character, balancing strong serifs and clear letterforms with softened details for comfortable reading. It aims to project reliability and impact while maintaining an even, disciplined rhythm across text.
The lowercase shows clear, compact forms with strong vertical emphasis and distinct terminals that aid differentiation in text. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, matching the alphabet’s slab structure and contributing to a cohesive, signage-friendly texture.
