A compact slab-serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The forms are tall and slightly condensed, with rounded corners and softened terminals that keep the texture from feeling sharp. Counters are moderately open, curves are simple and steady, and the overall rhythm is even and mechanical rather than calligraphic. Numerals and capitals share a consistent, practical construction, and the lowercase maintains clear, straightforward silhouettes suitable for continuous text.
Works well for editorial layouts, subheads, and short-to-medium passages where a firm, readable texture is desired. It also suits labels, packaging copy, instructional materials, and brand applications aiming for a dependable, vintage-utility voice.
The face conveys a typewriter-adjacent, vintage utilitarian tone—plainspoken, reliable, and mildly industrial. Its sturdy slabs and compact spacing suggest paperwork, labels, and editorial matter, with a subtle retro flavor rather than a polished luxury feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a durable, text-capable slab serif with typewriter-inspired sturdiness, prioritizing consistency and clarity in compact settings while retaining a classic, practical character.
The bold slab feet and slight rounding give it a friendly ruggedness, helping the dense vertical proportions stay legible. The overall color on the page is dark and steady, producing a strong typographic presence without relying on high contrast details.
