A sturdy serif with a typewriter-like build: heavy, mostly monoline strokes with softened corners and rounded, bracketed slab-like serifs. The glyphs sit on a steady baseline with open counters and a broad, confident footprint, while round forms (O, C, o, e) read as generously oval and well-filled. Terminals often finish with small balls or bulbous ends, and joins are blunt rather than sharp, giving the shapes a slightly stamped, inked feel. In text, the rhythm is even and highly legible, with clear differentiation in key forms and numerals that maintain the same solid, workmanlike color as the letters.
Well-suited for bold editorial headlines, pull quotes, and poster typography where a dense, typed-influence serif can carry a message at a glance. It also works for book covers and packaging that benefit from a classic, stamped authenticity, and for branding that wants a dependable, archival tone.
The font conveys a utilitarian, documentary tone reminiscent of typed pages, forms, and industrial labeling, but with enough softness in the serifs and terminals to feel friendly rather than harsh. Its heavy presence reads authoritative and dependable, lending a classic, no-nonsense voice to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to blend typewriter-era practicality with a robust, display-ready weight, delivering high-impact readability while retaining the familiar cues of typed serif forms—rounded serifs, blunt joins, and sturdy proportions.
The overall texture is dark and consistent, producing strong typographic color at display sizes. The lowercase shows a straightforward, workaday construction with simple bowls and compact apertures, while capitals feel stable and formal without becoming delicate.
