A sturdy slab-serif with chunky, bracketed terminals and softly rounded corners that give the shapes an inked, slightly worn impression. Strokes stay largely even, with broad serifs that read as rectangular but not rigid, and subtle irregularities in curve tension that keep the texture lively. Counters are generously open, and letterforms show a gently informal construction—particularly in the lowercase—creating an organic rhythm in text.
Well-suited for headlines and short-to-medium editorial text where a warm, robust slab presence is desired. It can add personality to posters, packaging, menus, and signage, especially in designs aiming for a vintage print or handcrafted-yet-structured feel.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and tactile, suggesting printed matter with a bit of grit rather than a pristine digital finish. It comes across as approachable and characterful, with a mild vintage flavor that can feel folksy or newsroom editorial depending on setting.
The design appears intended to blend the authority of a traditional slab serif with an informal, slightly distressed warmth, creating a dependable workhorse face that still carries visible character in both display and text settings.
In the sample text, the weight and heavy serifs create a dark, confident color on the page, while the rounded joins help prevent it from feeling harsh. Numerals appear sturdy and straightforward, matching the serifed texture and maintaining consistent presence alongside caps and lowercase.
