A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions, low stroke contrast, and square-ended terminals that read as lightly inked. Serifs are bold and mostly flat, with subtly softened corners that keep the texture from feeling rigid. Curves are open and rounded (notably in C, G, O, and the lowercase bowls), while joins and shoulders stay simple and robust. The overall rhythm is slightly irregular in a hand-set or stamped way, giving the line a warm, lively texture without becoming decorative.
Well-suited to branding and packaging that want a classic, tactile feel, as well as posters and headlines where the bold slabs can carry personality. It can also work for book covers and short editorial settings, especially when a warm, slightly vintage serif texture is desired.
The tone feels approachable and nostalgic, like a typewriter-meets-book-jacket serif with a touch of handcrafted character. Its confident slabs and generous spacing lend a grounded, dependable voice, while the softened, slightly quirky shapes keep it personable and informal.
The design appears intended to blend the solidity of a slab serif with a less-mechanical, more human rhythm—delivering strong readability and presence while suggesting printed or stamped authenticity.
In the sample text, the heavier serifs and wide letterforms create a strong horizontal emphasis, producing an even, readable color at text sizes. Numerals appear bold and clear, with rounded forms that match the letter shapes and maintain the same sturdy, inked impression.
