A compact slab-serif with largely monoline strokes and subtly softened corners throughout. Serifs are blocky yet rounded at the ends, creating a sturdy footprint without sharp terminals. Proportions are relatively narrow with tight bowls and counters, and the capitals read square-shouldered and stable. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward, functional construction with simple joins and a consistent rhythm, while figures appear clear and evenly weighted for text settings.
It performs well in dense text where a firm, even texture is desirable, such as editorial layouts, instructions, and informational copy. The sturdy slabs and compact set also make it a good fit for labels, packaging, and poster captions where you want a typewriter-like practicality without harsh edges.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and utilitarian, with a mild vintage/editorial flavor. Its rounded slab details soften the mechanical impression, giving it a friendly, practical voice suited to straightforward communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, readable slab-serif voice with typewriter cues, balancing mechanical regularity with softened terminals for a more approachable finish.
Spacing and glyph widths feel intentionally compact, which increases density and reinforces the no-nonsense texture in paragraphs. The consistent stroke weight and rounded slab terminals help maintain legibility while adding a recognizable, slightly nostalgic character.
