A sturdy slab-serif with mostly uniform stroke weight and gently rounded corners that suggest ink spread or softened metal type. Serifs are blocky and bracketed, with slightly irregular terminals that add a handmade, stamped texture without becoming distressed. Proportions are moderately condensed with compact uppercase forms and a readable, straightforward lowercase; counters stay fairly open, and curves are smooth rather than sharp. Numerals follow the same steady, utilitarian rhythm, keeping forms clear and consistent alongside the letters.
Well suited to editorial headings and short-to-medium text where a classic, typewriter-adjacent slab serif adds personality without sacrificing clarity. It also fits packaging, posters, and brand systems seeking a vintage-print or workshop feel, and works effectively for book covers or display lines that benefit from a sturdy, tactile presence.
The overall tone feels typewriter-like and workmanlike, with a friendly, tactile warmth. Its small edge irregularities and rounded slabs lend a nostalgic, analog character—more “printed on paper” than sleek digital—while still reading as dependable and direct.
Likely designed to evoke traditional printing and typewriter-era slabs through firm serifs, monoline construction, and gently imperfect edges, balancing character with everyday readability. The goal appears to be a practical, familiar serif voice with an analog texture for contemporary design use.
Stroke joins and terminals show subtle waviness and unevenness that reads as intentional texture rather than high-contrast calligraphy. Spacing in the sample text appears even and stable, supporting continuous reading while preserving a distinctive, slightly rugged voice.
