A slab-serif with a typewriter-inspired construction, featuring chunky, bracketed serifs and generously rounded corners throughout. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with heavier horizontals and prominent slab feet that give the letters a sturdy, stamped look. Counters are open and slightly squarish, while joints and terminals often flare or soften, suggesting ink spread and adding a tactile, printed texture. Overall spacing feels comfortable and the rhythm is steady, with slight irregularities in curve-to-stem transitions that enhance the analog character.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where a typewriter-inflected slab texture is desirable. It can also support branding, labels, and packaging that aim for a vintage, handcrafted, or utilitarian print aesthetic. The sturdy serifs and open forms help it hold up in bold display settings and on printed materials.
The font conveys a nostalgic, mechanical tone reminiscent of office type, vintage packaging, and mid-century print. Its softened slabs and inky details keep it approachable rather than severe, balancing utility with personality. The result feels trustworthy and human, with a subtle rough-hewn charm.
Likely designed to evoke the feel of typewritten or letterpress output while staying clean and consistent for modern composition. The softened slabs, inky joins, and sturdy proportions suggest an intent to deliver strong readability with a characterful, analog voice.
Round letters like O and Q are full and sturdy, and the Q’s tail reads as a distinct, typewriter-like stroke. Numerals are straightforward and readable, with classic forms that align well with the serifed text style. In text, the weight distribution and rounded slabs create a dark, even color with a clear, authoritative presence.
