A wide, slanted slab serif with mostly monoline strokes and crisp, unbracketed serifs. The letterforms have a slightly uneven, organic edge that suggests a lightly distressed or inked impression, with small kinks and subtle swelling at joins. Counters are fairly open and round, terminals are blunt, and the rhythm is lively rather than strictly mechanical. Uppercase proportions are broad and steady, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward structure with a modestly sized x-height and clear, simple bowls.
Its bold, wide stance and sturdy slabs make it well suited to display sizes in editorial layouts, posters, and packaging where a retro or workmanlike voice is desired. It can also serve for short blocks of copy, pull quotes, or signage when a textured, typewriter-like presence is more important than a pristine finish.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and mid-century, combining utilitarian clarity with a bit of handmade grit. It reads as informal and practical, with a nostalgic, workshop or editorial note rather than polished corporate refinement.
The design appears intended to merge a classic slab serif structure with an italic, wide-set silhouette and a subtly imperfect impression, creating a distinctive, readable texture that evokes printed ephemera and mechanical lettering without feeling rigid.
Spacing appears generous and the wide set gives lines a relaxed, horizontal feel. Numerals and capitals carry the same sturdy slab treatment, helping maintain a consistent texture across mixed-case and alphanumeric settings.
