A sturdy slab-serif with square, block-like serifs and blunt, flat-ended terminals throughout. Strokes are largely monoline with minimal contrast, producing an even, mechanical color on the page. Proportions feel compact and workmanlike, with open counters and straightforward, unmodulated curves. The overall rhythm is structured and steady, balancing strong rectangular serifs with rounded bowls in letters like C, O, and e.
It suits body text and editorial settings where a firm, even typographic color is desirable, especially in print-like layouts. The typewriter-inflected slab structure also makes it effective for packaging, labels, instructions, and utilitarian UI or documentation where clarity and a sturdy tone matter.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, with a classic typewriter and industrial print feel. Its blunt serifs and even stroke weight give it a confident, matter-of-fact voice that reads as vintage yet functional rather than ornamental. The texture suggests reliability and clarity, with a slightly gritty, editorial presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, print-forward slab-serif voice with typewriter-inspired sturdiness and straightforward legibility. Its emphasis on blunt terminals, square serifs, and consistent stroke weight prioritizes clarity and a utilitarian, retro-leaning character.
Uppercase forms present a firm, sign-like solidity, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation and steady spacing in text. Numerals are robust and highly legible, with simple, familiar shapes that match the font’s mechanical, squared-off detailing.
