A compact slab-serif with sturdy, mostly even strokes and softly bracketed terminals. The letterforms show slightly rounded corners and a subtly irregular, inked finish that reads like worn metal type or a ribboned impression. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is dense, with short ascenders/descenders and a steady, utilitarian texture in text. Numerals and caps share the same chunky, softly squared construction, keeping a consistent, mechanical silhouette without feeling rigidly geometric.
Well suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where a retro, type-driven voice is desired—posters, packaging, labels, café menus, and brand marks that want a handmade-industrial feel. It can also work for pull quotes or UI titling when a compact, robust slab presence is needed.
The tone is nostalgic and practical, evoking typewritten notes, workshop labels, and vintage print ephemera. Its softened slabs and gently imperfect edges add warmth and approachability while still feeling dependable and assertive.
The design appears intended to capture the straightforward authority of classic slab serifs and typewriter-like printing, combining strong terminals with a softened, slightly worn finish for personality. The goal seems to be a readable, compact workhorse that carries vintage texture without resorting to high contrast or delicate details.
In running text the face holds a dark, even color, with small interior spaces that favor confident display sizes and sturdy reproduction. The serifs stay prominent without becoming sharp, and the overall finish suggests a deliberately distressed or ink-spread character rather than a pristine digital outline.
