A sturdy slab-serif with compact proportions, squared-off terminals, and bold, blocky serifs that read clearly at text sizes. Strokes stay fairly even with minimal contrast, while subtle irregularities in curvature and spacing give it a slightly worn, printed feel rather than a purely geometric construction. The lowercase shows a straightforward, utilitarian build with rounded bowls and firm joins; numerals are simple and open, with an overall steady rhythm across lines of text.
Well-suited to editorial text, book covers, and poster headlines where a sturdy slab-serif voice is desired. It also fits packaging and branding that wants a vintage-industrial or typewriter-adjacent feel, and it should hold up in small-to-medium sizes thanks to its clear, low-contrast strokes and substantial serifs.
The font conveys a practical, no-nonsense tone with a warm, retro edge—suggestive of typewriter/letterpress texture and everyday signage. Its solid slabs and slightly quirky details make it feel dependable and approachable rather than refined or delicate.
Likely designed to deliver a robust slab-serif reading experience with a subtly distressed, analog personality. The intention appears to balance text practicality with a distinctive, vintage flavor that stands out in display settings while remaining serviceable for paragraphs.
Serifs are consistently square and prominent, helping maintain word shape and legibility in longer passages. The caps appear assertive and compact, while the lowercase keeps a readable, familiar skeleton that supports continuous reading without looking overly formal.
