A heavy, monoline serif with broad slab terminals that read like rounded, buttoned serifs. Strokes maintain an even thickness and the joins stay sturdy, while subtle irregular edges and softened corners create a lightly worn, inked impression. Counters are compact and the spacing is slightly uneven in feel, adding to the mechanical-yet-imperfect rhythm. Uppercase forms are sturdy and squared-off, and the lowercase shows simple, workmanlike shapes with clear, open apertures and short extenders.
This style works best when you want a bold, characterful voice for display use—headlines, posters, labels, and signage where the chunky slabs and slightly distressed impression can read as intentional texture. It can also add period flavor to book covers or editorial titling, especially in themes leaning vintage or utilitarian.
The overall tone evokes typewriter printing and old poster lettering, blending practicality with a nostalgic, handmade roughness. It feels approachable and rugged rather than refined, with a hint of frontier or workshop character.
The design appears intended to mimic sturdy slab-serif printing with a typewriter/poster sensibility, prioritizing impact and recognizable texture over crisp, modern neutrality.
The slab terminals are consistently prominent across letters and numerals, giving a strong baseline and headline presence. The texture-like wobble at edges is visible in running text and contributes more personality than contrast or calligraphic modulation.
