A monoline slab serif with robust, squared serifs and softly rounded corners throughout. Strokes stay consistently thick, creating a steady rhythm and a compact, sturdy texture in paragraphs. The proportions read slightly expanded, with broad capitals and generous interior space in letters like O, Q, and e. Terminals are blunt and confident, and the overall drawing favors simple, mechanically even curves over calligraphic modulation.
Well-suited to editorial headlines and subheads where a bold, readable slab texture is desired, and it also performs convincingly in short paragraphs thanks to its even stroke weight and open counters. The sturdy shapes make it a good choice for posters, packaging, and signage where durability and clarity are priorities. It can also support brand systems looking for a practical retro voice with a strong typographic footprint.
The tone feels practical and workmanlike, with a typewriter-meets-signage personality. Its solid slabs and even color suggest reliability and straightforwardness, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh. The overall impression is distinctly retro without feeling overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif presence with consistent stroke weight and generous shapes for clarity. Its rounded, blunt detailing suggests a goal of balancing industrial sturdiness with friendly, accessible readability across display and text settings.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably the a and g), reinforcing an informal, utilitarian flavor. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, matching the heavy serif structure and maintaining consistent weight across straight and curved forms.
