A sturdy slab-serif design with heavy, even strokes and a consistent mechanical rhythm. Letterforms sit on a firm baseline and show rounded, slightly blunted corners with subtly uneven, inked-looking edges that suggest wear or impression. Counters are compact but open enough to read well, and the numerals and capitals feel squat and emphatic, with simple geometric structure and minimal modulation.
Well-suited for display settings where a typed, tactile texture is desirable—posters, covers, product labels, packaging, and editorial pull quotes. It can also work for short blocks of copy when a distinctly analog, document-like voice is needed and the strong texture is part of the message.
The overall tone feels retro and workmanlike, evoking typed documents, stamps, and analog print artifacts. Its softened edges and slightly irregular color add a casual, humanized grit that keeps the texture from feeling sterile.
The font appears designed to capture the feel of mechanical typing and printed impression—structured and consistent, but intentionally softened and slightly worn to convey age, physicality, and character.
The design maintains a consistent texture across upper- and lowercase, with slab-like feet and shoulders that create a strong horizontal presence. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy construction (notably in a single-storey-style feel for some forms and compact bowls), reinforcing the practical, typed-page character in running text.
