A sturdy slab-serif with mostly uniform stroke weight and generously bracketed, rectangular serifs. Curves are slightly squarish and softened at the corners, giving counters and bowls a compact, mechanical feel rather than a calligraphic one. The lowercase is straightforward with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a single-storey feel elsewhere, while the overall spacing and rhythm read as steady and workmanlike. Numerals are clear and open, with similarly blocky construction and consistent serif treatment.
It performs well in editorial settings where a sturdy, characterful serif can carry long passages without becoming delicate. The slab structure also suits packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from clear letterforms and a confident, printed texture. At larger sizes, it can add a vintage, utilitarian accent to headlines and posters.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, with a subtle typewriter/printing-press nostalgia. Its strong slabs and restrained modulation convey reliability and a slightly industrial, archival character, making text feel official, factual, and grounded.
The font appears designed to capture a classic slab-serif/text-typewriter sensibility: robust, readable forms with consistent stroke weight and emphatic serifs for dependable reproduction. The overall construction favors clarity and a steady page color over ornament, aiming for practical versatility with a hint of retro voice.
The design leans on robust horizontals and squared-off joins, which helps maintain clarity at text sizes. The slightly softened corners keep the texture from feeling overly rigid, balancing toughness with approachability.
