Keywords: posters, headlines, labels, packaging, editorial, industrial, typewriter, utilitarian, retro, rugged, vintage utility, print texture, strong readability, industrial tone, slab serif, blocky, ink-trap feel, bracketless, sturdy.
A sturdy slab serif with blunt, square-ended serifs and an overall boxy silhouette. Strokes are largely monolinear, with subtle irregularities and angled joins that give the outlines a slightly distressed, stamped impression. Counters are compact and shapes lean toward squared curves, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text. Letterforms show small idiosyncrasies (notably in curves and diagonals) that break perfect geometric uniformity while keeping consistent, bold seriffed structure.
Best suited to display settings where a sturdy, tactile voice is desired—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and branding accents. It can also work for short editorial callouts or captions when you want a strong, typewriter-like texture, though the dense color suggests giving it comfortable size and spacing in longer passages.
The font conveys a practical, workmanlike tone with strong typewriter and letterpress associations. Its slightly roughened finish and emphatic slabs feel mechanical and vintage, suggesting utility, tools, and straightforward messaging rather than refinement.
Likely designed to evoke classic slab-serif printing and typewriter-era utility while adding a slightly worn, hand-impressed character. The emphasis is on bold, dependable shapes and immediate readability with a distinctive, industrial edge.
In continuous text the heavy slabs and tight interior space create a pronounced rhythm and dark color, especially at smaller sizes. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same chunky construction, reinforcing a consistent, no-nonsense voice across alphanumerics.
