A contrasted slab-serif with sturdy, rounded terminals and pronounced bracketed slabs that read as heavy “feet” on many letters. Strokes show clear modulation, with comparatively thin joins and thicker verticals that give the face a punched, inked rhythm. Counters are open and circular forms (C, O, Q) stay smooth, while joins and inner corners often pinch slightly, creating a subtle ink-trap-like tension. The lowercase is compact with a relatively tall x-height, and the overall spacing feels even and text-oriented, with numerals and capitals maintaining a consistent, workmanlike structure.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book or magazine settings, and branding that wants a typewriter/industrial voice. The strong slabs make it effective for headlines and posters, while the tall x-height and open forms support readable paragraphs at moderate sizes. It can also add a crafted, utilitarian tone to packaging and labels.
The font evokes classic typewriter and rubber-stamp printing, combining practicality with a slightly nostalgic, workshop character. Its strong slabs and crisp contrast lend an assertive, editorial tone, while the rounded details keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to blend a classic slab-serif text structure with typewriter-like sturdiness, using strong rounded slabs and visible stroke modulation to create a confident, print-forward voice. Its details suggest an aim for legibility with character—functional for reading, but distinctive enough for display.
Several glyphs lean into a monoline-to-modulated “pressed” look where thin connections meet thick slabs, producing a distinctive sparkle in text. The serifs are visually dominant but softened by rounded corners, helping long passages remain legible while still feeling emphatically branded.
