A compact slab-serif with sturdy, mostly even strokes and bold, blunt terminals. Serifs are short and bracketed, with softly rounded joins that give the shapes a slightly inked, stamped feel rather than a crisp geometric finish. Counters are modest and the overall texture is dense, with sturdy verticals and simplified curves that keep letterforms readable at display sizes. Numerals and capitals follow the same robust construction, with consistent serif behavior and a slightly irregular, hand-pressed rhythm.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium passages where a dense, sturdy texture is desirable—posters, packaging, labels, and retro-leaning branding. It can also work for book covers and editorial display where a typewriter/print-shop flavor supports the content.
The face conveys a nostalgic, workmanlike tone—practical and approachable, with a touch of analog grit. Its chunky slabs and softened corners suggest print ephemera, labeling, and old-school editorial settings rather than sleek modern minimalism.
The design appears aimed at a durable, print-forward slab serif that balances legibility with character. By combining bold, bracketed slabs with softened shaping, it targets a vintage utility look that remains friendly and readable in display typography.
Round letters like O/C and the bowls in B/P/R feel slightly squarish and tightened, reinforcing the compact footprint. The lowercase includes distinctive slabby details (notably on t, f, and the descenders), which add personality and help the alphabet read as intentionally textured rather than purely utilitarian.
