A wide, monoline slab serif with sturdy, bracketless feet and gently rounded terminals that evoke stamped or cast letterforms. Strokes stay largely uniform in thickness, with subtle softening and slight irregularity at joins and corners that reads like ink spread or impression. Counters are open and generous, and the overall set sits on a steady baseline with straightforward, upright construction and a slightly roomy rhythm in text.
Well-suited to editorial headlines and pull quotes, poster typography, and packaging where a vintage-mechanical voice is helpful. In longer passages it maintains readable forms, especially at comfortable sizes where the slightly inked texture becomes part of the charm.
The tone feels classic and workmanlike, with a warm, nostalgic typewriter flavor rather than a crisp digital polish. Its broad stance and softened edges give it an approachable, lived-in character suited to storytelling and retro utility.
The design appears intended to capture the look of typewritten or mechanically produced slab serif text while keeping strokes even and forms clear. Its wide proportions and softened details suggest a focus on bold, characterful readability for display and short-to-medium text settings.
Letterforms show compact, squared-off serifs and rounded shoulders that keep the texture consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Numerals match the same stamped feeling, with clear shapes and sturdy presence that hold up at display sizes and remain readable in paragraphs.
