A sturdy slab-serif with rounded, bracketed terminals and a visibly “inked” presence. Strokes stay largely even, but corners are softened and joins are slightly blunted, producing a warm, tactile texture rather than a crisp geometric finish. The capitals read broad and steady with compact internal counters, while the lowercase shows a gentle, humanized rhythm and small irregularities that keep lines from feeling mechanical. Numerals are bold and legible with simple, open forms and consistent weight distribution.
Works well for editorial titles, pull quotes, and headings that benefit from a sturdy, classic voice. It also suits branding, packaging, and label-style design where a vintage or utilitarian mood is desired. In short paragraphs it can deliver a strong printed texture, especially when paired with generous spacing.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and archival, suggesting printed ephemera, workshop labels, and utilitarian signage. Its softened slabs and slightly wobbly edges add approachability and a handmade honesty, balancing sturdiness with charm. The texture gives text a nostalgic, lived-in character without becoming overly decorative.
Likely designed to evoke robust slab-serif printing with a softened, inked finish—prioritizing character and legibility over sterile precision. The consistent stroke weight and rounded slabs aim to provide a dependable, readable structure while adding a nostalgic, handcrafted nuance.
The serifs are prominent and rounded, creating strong baselines and a stable horizontal flow. Counters tend to be on the smaller side, which increases color on the page and reinforces the vintage, workmanlike feel. Word shapes remain clear in the sample text, with distinctive forms that help differentiate letters at display and short-text sizes.
