A sturdy slab-serif with flat, square-ended serifs and blunt terminals throughout. Strokes are largely even with minimal contrast, producing a solid, industrial color on the line. Curves are broad and slightly squarish in their turning, with rounded counters that stay open at text sizes. The lowercase shows compact, workmanlike forms (notably a single-storey g and sturdy, footed i/l), while the uppercase carries wide proportions and confident horizontal bars.
Works well for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where a firm, textured serif is desirable. The robust slabs and open counters also suit signage, labels, and branding applications that need a sturdy, vintage-leaning voice without high contrast delicacy.
The overall tone is practical and no-nonsense, evoking typewriter and mid-century editorial typography. Its blocky slabs and broad stance read as dependable and slightly retro, with a quiet authority that suits informational settings.
Likely designed to deliver a durable, readable slab-serif with typewriter-inspired character and strong horizontal footing. The emphasis appears to be on clarity and presence, providing an assertive texture that holds up in display and practical text settings.
The font maintains a consistent rhythm across mixed case, with pronounced baseline weight from the slab feet and strong horizontal emphasis. Numerals follow the same squared-off logic, keeping forms clear and sign-like without becoming geometric or sterile.
