A wide, slab-serif design with square, unbracketed serifs and a sturdy, even color on the page. Strokes show moderate thick–thin behavior, with blunt terminals and crisp joins that keep the forms compact and punchy despite the generous widths. Counters are open and round, and several letters carry subtle notch-like cut-ins that read like an ink-trap or mechanical detailing, especially noticeable where curves meet stems. The lowercase keeps a conventional x-height and straightforward construction, while the numerals are clear and sturdy with the same blocky serif treatment.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where its wide proportions and slab presence can be used for impact. It can also work for short editorial callouts, packaging labels, and signage where a sturdy, typewriter-adjacent texture is desirable; for long text, the width will dominate layout and should be used with generous measure control.
The overall tone feels mechanical and workmanlike, evoking typewritten and industrial signage impressions. Its wide stance and blunt slabs give it a confident, no-nonsense voice that can also lean nostalgic in editorial or poster settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif voice with a typewriter/industrial flavor, combining wide proportions and square serifs for strong presence while retaining readable, familiar letterforms for practical display use.
Spacing appears comfortably open, and the wide set makes words occupy horizontal space quickly, producing an emphatic rhythm in running text. The reverse-leaning slant adds a distinctive, slightly contrarian motion without turning the design into a script-like italic.
