A sturdy slab-serif with largely uniform stroke weight and gently bracketed, squared-off serifs. The forms are slightly rounded at corners, giving a softened, inked impression rather than a hard geometric feel. Letterfit and rhythm are even and practical, with open counters and straightforward construction; curves stay controlled and terminals remain blunt. Numerals and capitals read clearly, with a mildly mechanical, typed texture that becomes more apparent in paragraph settings.
Works well for editorial layouts and readable body copy where a firm, structured serif can add texture without high contrast. It also suits packaging, signage, and labels that benefit from a clear, utilitarian voice and strong baseline presence.
The overall tone is pragmatic and matter-of-fact, evoking documents, labels, and typewritten or stamped communication. Its no-nonsense shapes and steady cadence feel dependable and functional, with a subtle retro editorial character.
Likely designed to provide a clear, robust slab-serif for general-purpose typography, balancing legibility with a typewriter-adjacent personality. The softened details suggest an intention to feel printed and approachable rather than rigidly industrial.
In text, the slab serifs create a pronounced baseline and strong horizontal presence, helping lines feel anchored. The rounded joins and slightly softened terminals contribute to a gentle, ink-on-paper texture that suits both display snippets and longer passages without feeling overly formal.
