A sturdy italic slab serif with blunt, square-ended serifs and consistently heavy strokes. The letterforms lean with a clear forward slant, while the overall rhythm stays disciplined and evenly spaced, reinforcing a typewriter-like regularity. Curves are compact and controlled, counters are relatively tight, and terminals tend to finish with flat cuts rather than flares. The overall build favors solid geometry and firm horizontal slabs over delicate detailing.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a firm, mechanical presence is desirable—headlines, pull quotes, captions, and product labels. It can also work in editorial layouts or technical/industrial branding where an italic slab serif adds emphasis while maintaining a structured, typewriter-like cadence.
The font communicates a pragmatic, workmanlike tone with a hint of vintage machinery and office equipment. Its bold, blunt serifs and steady cadence give it an assertive, no-nonsense voice that feels functional rather than decorative. The italic angle adds momentum, lending energy without becoming calligraphic or soft.
The design appears intended to blend the firmness of slab serifs with the disciplined regularity of fixed spacing, creating an italic voice that stays structured and robust. Its square-cut finishing and compact proportions suggest a focus on durability and clarity in display and emphatic text settings.
The combination of square slabs, compact curves, and uniform spacing produces a strong texture in paragraphs, with a noticeably dense color on the page. Figures and capitals match the same blocky, squared-off finishing, keeping the set visually consistent across alphanumerics.
