A sturdy slab-serif with compact proportions and a slightly irregular, workmanlike rhythm. Strokes are broadly even with minimal contrast, and the serifs are heavy and squared-off with subtle bracketing that keeps joins from feeling brittle. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, and many curves show a gently flattened, almost stamped contour rather than a perfectly geometric bowl. Spacing reads moderately tight, with consistent color and a solid, dark texture in text.
Well-suited to headlines, short-form editorial display, and packaging or branding where a robust slab-serif voice is needed. It can also work for pull quotes and signage-style applications, especially where a slightly vintage, utilitarian texture is desirable.
The overall tone is pragmatic and slightly nostalgic, evoking printed ephemera and typewritten or stamped lettering. Its blunt serifs and firm silhouettes give it an assertive, no-nonsense voice that still feels approachable rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, legible slab-serif with a printed, hands-on character—prioritizing solidity and impact over refinement. Its squared terminals and firm serifs suggest a focus on dependable readability and a bold editorial presence.
In the sample text, the face maintains strong word-shape clarity and a steady baseline presence, with small idiosyncrasies in curves and joins that add texture at larger sizes. The numerals appear bold and stable, matching the letterforms’ slab-driven, squared finish.
