A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions and softly bracketed serifs that read as squared, typewriter-like slabs rather than sharp book serifs. Strokes stay fairly even throughout, with gently rounded corners and terminals that give the letters a slightly cushioned, inked-in impression. Counters are open and simple, curves are generous, and joins are minimally fussy, producing a steady rhythm in text. Uppercase forms are wide and stable, while lowercase shows compact, workmanlike shapes with a single-storey “a” and a straightforward “g,” reinforcing a practical, mechanical character.
This face suits packaging and labels, posters, and bold editorial headlines where a rugged slab presence is desirable. It also works well for book covers and short-to-medium text blocks that benefit from strong letterforms and an intentionally typewriter-leaning texture.
The overall tone is industrial and familiar, evoking typewritten documents and vintage utility printing. It feels dependable and no-nonsense, with a touch of nostalgia from the slab structure and softened, stamped-like finishing.
The design appears intended to blend a classic slab-serif skeleton with a typewriter-inspired, slightly inked finish for confident, highly legible display and editorial use. Its wide stance and softened slabs suggest an aim for approachable robustness rather than refined delicacy.
The numerals and capitals look particularly strong and poster-friendly, with weight distributed evenly and serifs providing firm baselines. The softened edges and slightly irregular, inked appearance help it avoid feeling overly rigid despite the slab construction.
