This slab serif has sturdy, monoline strokes and blunt, bracketed serifs with softly rounded corners. The outlines show gentle irregularities that read like ink spread or worn metal type, giving the letters a slightly uneven edge without sacrificing structure. Counters are open and forms are straightforward, with compact curves and firm horizontal terminals that keep the texture consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Overall spacing and rhythm feel steady and workmanlike, with a subtly varied, handmade finish.
It suits editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form passages where a traditional slab serif voice is desired with extra tactile personality. It also works well for packaging, labels, and posters that benefit from a vintage, printed look while remaining readable.
The tone is classic and utilitarian with a distinctly typewriter-like, analog character. Its mild roughness adds warmth and authenticity, suggesting printed matter, archival documents, or workshop signage rather than polished corporate modernism.
The design appears intended to evoke the practicality of slab-serif printing and typewriter-era typography, combining solid, legible construction with subtle inked irregularity to create a warm, human, historically referential texture.
The numerals and punctuation match the same sturdy slab construction, and the texture remains visible at text sizes, helping it feel intentionally imperfect rather than distressed for effect. The sample text shows clear word shapes and a consistent baseline presence despite the roughened edges.
