A compact slab serif with sturdy, mostly uniform strokes and pronounced bracketed serifs that read as soft, slightly rounded feet rather than sharp slabs. Curves are broad and simplified, with gentle tapering and occasional bulb-like terminals that give letters a mildly inked, stamped impression. Proportions are tight and economical, with narrow counters and a steady rhythm that keeps lines dense while remaining legible. Numerals and capitals follow the same robust, no-nonsense construction, with small irregularities in joins and corners that add warmth without becoming overtly distressed.
Works well for dense copy where a firm, structured texture is desired—editorial layouts, captions, sidebars, and informational packaging. Its compact build and sturdy serifs also suit headlines that aim for a typewritten or archival flavor without looking delicate.
The overall tone is typewriter-adjacent and utilitarian, suggesting paperwork, labels, and editorial copy with a touch of vintage grit. It feels practical and mechanical, but the rounded serifs and slightly soft edges keep it approachable rather than austere.
Likely designed to evoke typewriter and industrial printing cues while providing a stable, readable slab-serif structure for everyday text setting. The softened serifs and subtly inked details appear intended to add character and familiarity without sacrificing consistency.
The face maintains consistent stroke weight across straight and curved forms, and the spacing appears tuned for compact setting. The punctuation and apostrophe in the sample text reinforce the same sturdy, bracketed serif logic, supporting cohesive text color across mixed-case paragraphs.
