A slab serif with sturdy, blocky feet and largely even stroke widths, giving the letterforms a monoline, workhorse feel. Serifs are blunt and slightly rounded, and curves show gentle swelling and soft corners that read like inked or stamped impressions rather than razor-sharp outlines. Proportions are moderately wide with open counters and a steady rhythm in text, while subtle irregularities at joins and terminals add a tactile, printed texture.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and book-cover typography where a sturdy slab presence is desired. It also works effectively for packaging, labels, and posters that benefit from a typewriter-adjacent, print-textured character while keeping good readability in short paragraphs.
The overall tone is practical and archival, with a familiar typewriter and mid-century print flavor. Its slightly roughened edges and stout slabs convey honesty and durability, balancing a no-nonsense voice with a touch of vintage warmth.
Likely designed to evoke practical printing and typewriter-era slabs while staying clean enough for contemporary layout. The intention appears to be a robust, readable serif with a tactile edge—strong in headlines and comfortable in compact text settings.
In the sample text, the heavier slabs and rounded finishing strokes help maintain clarity at display sizes while also producing a confident, poster-like silhouette. The figures share the same sturdy construction, supporting mixed text-and-number settings without feeling out of place.
