A sturdy slab-serif with low contrast and mostly even stroke weight, giving it a monoline-like, printed feel. Serifs are blocky and generally bracketed, with softly rounded joins and terminals that keep the texture from feeling harsh. Proportions are compact with a steady rhythm, and the design shows small idiosyncrasies typical of utilitarian printing—especially in the squared-off shoulders and slightly softened corners. Numerals and capitals read clearly, with broad, stable forms that hold their shape at display sizes and in dense text.
It performs well for body copy and editorial layouts where a sturdy serif texture is desirable, and it can also anchor headlines or subheads with a no-nonsense presence. The typewriter-like voice makes it a natural fit for labels, packaging, menus, and poster work that benefits from a vintage-printed or utilitarian tone.
The overall tone is practical and workmanlike, with a classic typewriter/editorial association. Its solid slabs and softened edges add a friendly, dependable character that feels archival and slightly nostalgic rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to evoke robust, everyday printing—combining slab-serif stability with softened details for comfortable reading and a familiar, classic voice. It prioritizes legibility and consistent texture while maintaining a distinctive, slightly retro imprint.
In running text, the font produces a dark, even color and a confident baseline presence, helped by the substantial serifs and consistent stroke weight. The shapes favor clarity and firmness over delicacy, making it well suited to straightforward typographic settings where a tactile, printed impression is desired.
