A sturdy slab-serif design with low contrast and a largely even stroke weight throughout. Forms are wide-set with generous internal space and rounded-rectangle curves that give many bowls and counters a softly squared profile. Serifs are bold and blocky with minimal bracketing, and terminals tend to end in flat, squared-off cuts, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. The lowercase is compact and straightforward, with a simple, single-storey “a” and a plain, readable “g,” while the numerals follow the same squared, monoline logic for consistent texture.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a distinctive, utilitarian voice is desired, as well as manuals, instructions, and technical documentation that benefit from consistent stroke behavior. The bold slabs and squared curves also translate well to packaging, labels, and signage, and can add a retro-industrial accent in branding and headlines.
The overall tone is functional and mechanical, evoking typewriter and industrial labeling aesthetics. Its wide stance and firm slabs feel confident and workmanlike, with a touch of retro utility rather than elegance or delicacy.
Likely intended to blend typewriter-inspired sturdiness with a cleaner, more systematic slab-serif build. The design emphasizes dependable legibility and consistent texture, offering a practical voice that remains characterful at both display and text sizes.
In text, the uniform stroke and broad proportions create an even, steady color and a slightly “stamped” presence. The rounded corners soften what would otherwise be a very rigid geometry, helping long passages feel less harsh while keeping a technical character.
