A sturdy slab-serif with monoline-like stroke weight and blunt, bracketed serifs that read slightly rounded at the corners. The letterforms are open and generously spaced, with a straightforward upright stance and steady rhythm. Curves (C, G, O, Q) are broad and soft, while joins and terminals show subtle irregularity that suggests an inked or stamped impression rather than a crisp geometric build. Numerals follow the same sturdy, plainspoken construction, with clear shapes and consistent stroke presence.
Well-suited for editorial design, book or magazine typography, and longer passages where a sturdy slab voice is desired without high contrast. It also works effectively for packaging, café menus, and poster headlines that benefit from a typewritten/printed character and strong, stable serifs.
The overall tone is practical and familiar, evoking typed documents, labels, and editorial markup. Its slightly softened, imperfect edges add warmth and a tactile, analog feel while still reading as dependable and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver a reliable slab-serif voice with an analog, typewritten flavor—prioritizing clarity and robustness while adding a subtle printed texture for character in both display and text settings.
Capitals feel authoritative and slightly wide in presence, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation (notably the single-story a and g) for comfortable continuous reading. The texture becomes more noticeable in paragraph settings, where the mild irregularities create a gentle, printed grain.
