A sturdy slab serif with monoline-like strokes and pronounced, bracketed serifs that read as soft, slightly rounded terminals rather than sharp cuts. Curves are full and somewhat compact, with a gentle, inked-in feel at joins and counters that gives the letterforms a dense, practical rhythm. The lowercase is robust and upright with a moderate x-height, while capitals are broad-shouldered and evenly weighted. Figures are straightforward and readable, matching the same blunt, slabby finishing throughout.
Well-suited to editorial headlines and subheads where a solid, traditional texture is desirable, as well as packaging and branding that aims for heritage or utilitarian authenticity. It can also work effectively for posters and book covers needing a bold, slab-serif voice without high contrast.
The overall tone is typewriter-adjacent and nostalgic, suggesting utilitarian print, office ephemera, and mid‑century editorial matter. Its heavy serifs and even color feel dependable and no-nonsense, but the rounded shaping keeps it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to evoke classic, practical printed typography—combining sturdy slabs with an even, workhorse stroke weight for reliable legibility and a familiar, vintage personality.
In text, the font maintains a consistent dark color with clear word shapes and stable spacing, making it feel suited to continuous reading at medium sizes. The slab serifs and soft bracketing create a distinctive texture that becomes more noticeable in headlines and short blocks.
