A sturdy slab serif with largely uniform stroke weight and bold, squared serifs that read clearly at text sizes. The letterforms are compact and slightly squarish with softened corners and subtly uneven, print-like edges that keep the texture from feeling sterile. Counters are open and simple, and terminals tend to end in blunt cuts that reinforce the typographic “stamp” rhythm across lines. Overall spacing feels practical and a touch irregular, giving the face a mild, mechanical looseness rather than strict geometric precision.
Well-suited for editorial text, book or magazine typography, and any setting where a strong, readable slab can carry paragraphs with character. It also works effectively on packaging, posters, labels, and identity systems seeking a retro, typewriter-adjacent voice without sacrificing clarity.
The font conveys a classic typewriter and workmanlike tone—functional, slightly nostalgic, and confidently plainspoken. Its sturdy slabs and modest roughness suggest printed matter, labels, and utilitarian documents rather than polished corporate minimalism.
The design appears intended to deliver a practical slab-serif workhorse with a typewritten/printed flavor—prioritizing legibility and robustness while adding a subtle tactile texture for warmth and authenticity.
The uppercase has an assertive, sign-like presence, while the lowercase stays straightforward and legible with a modestly compact footprint. Numerals are clear and sturdy, matching the serifed, blunt-ended construction and maintaining a consistent, no-nonsense texture in running text.
