A compact slab-serif with sturdy, mostly uniform strokes and broad, bracketed serifs that read clearly at text sizes. Curves are slightly squarish and softened, with rounded terminals and gentle joins that give an inked, press-like impression rather than a razor-sharp digital one. Counters are modest and the overall rhythm is tight, producing an efficient, vertical texture in paragraphs. Figures and caps share the same robust construction, with simple, legible forms and minimal stroke modulation.
Well-suited to editorial settings that want a vintage or typewritten flavor without sacrificing firmness, as well as packaging and branding that benefits from a sturdy, crafted look. It can also work effectively in posters and signage where a compact footprint and strong serifs help maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and familiar, evoking typed documents, labels, and printed ephemera. Its softened corners and generous serifs keep it approachable, while the compact proportions add a disciplined, no-nonsense character.
Likely intended as a modern, cleanly drawn take on slab/typewriter traditions: compact, robust, and readable, with softened details that mimic ink spread and add warmth in text.
The letterforms lean on clear, conventional skeletons with a slightly condensed presence, helping lines set densely without looking flimsy. The slab treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive, dependable color in running text.
