A sturdy slab-serif with mostly even stroke weight and square, blocky serifs that read clearly at display sizes. The design mixes crisp verticals with noticeably rounded bowls and soft joins, creating a slightly typewriter-like texture rather than a sharp, high-contrast book face. Capitals are broad with generous spacing and open apertures; the lowercase shows compact, efficient shapes with simple, solid terminals and a single-storey “a.” Numerals are large and straightforward, with a flat-topped “1” and wide, open curves in “0,” “6,” and “9,” reinforcing the font’s practical, emphatic presence.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where a bold, vintage slab-serif character is desirable. It can also work for short-form editorial or signage thanks to its open shapes and consistent, steady texture, but it will feel most at home at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels vintage and utilitarian, like printed labels, school materials, or classic editorial headings. Its blunt slabs and rounded curves give it an approachable, dependable voice—confident without feeling formal or delicate.
This font appears designed to combine the authority of a slab-serif with the friendliness of rounded forms, aiming for clear impact and a classic printed feel. The emphasis seems to be on sturdy readability and a nostalgic, workmanlike personality rather than refined contrast or delicate detail.
The sample text shows strong line-to-line rhythm and a dark, even color, helped by the consistent stroke width and robust serifs. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q, e) retain a soft, almost inked look, while the slabs keep edges stable and readable, producing a distinctive blend of warmth and structure.
