A monoline slab serif with chunky, heavily bracketed terminals and softly rounded corners that give the letterforms an inked, stamped feel. Strokes stay fairly even throughout, with robust horizontal slabs and short, slightly flared joins that add weight at the ends. The curves are generous and open, counters are roomy, and overall proportions lean broad, producing a sturdy, readable texture. Spacing and widths vary by glyph rather than feeling strictly fixed, which keeps the rhythm lively despite the uniform stroke weight.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a strong, vintage slab voice is desired, such as magazine headings, pull quotes, book covers, posters, and packaging. It can also work for branding and labels that benefit from a sturdy, tactile impression and high legibility at display sizes.
The font conveys a practical, retro tone reminiscent of typewritten or rubber-stamp printing—confident and utilitarian, but not harsh. Its rounded slabs and slightly irregular, ink-trap-like shaping add warmth and a tactile, analog character that feels approachable and editorial.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity of monoline slabs with an analog, printed texture—pairing strong, bracketed serifs with softened geometry for a dependable yet characterful reading experience.
Capitals show strong slab presence and clear silhouettes, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, legible structure with minimal ornamentation. Numerals are bold and simple with consistent stroke heft, matching the sturdy text color seen in the paragraph sample.
