A heavy, monoline slab serif with a pronounced rightward slant and broadly proportioned letterforms. Strokes keep a consistent thickness with softly rounded joins and blunted terminals, while slabby serifs read as chunky and slightly bracketed. The contours show purposeful irregularity—subtle wobble, uneven counters, and inky notches—creating a stamped or hand-inked texture. Overall spacing is steady and gridlike, reinforcing a typewriter-adjacent rhythm even as the shapes stay lively and idiosyncratic.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and short-to-medium text where a bold, characterful slab can carry the message. It can add a vintage or rustic accent to packaging, signage, labels, and branding marks, and works especially well when you want a typewriter-meets-poster feel with extra personality.
The tone feels vintage and workmanlike, with a friendly roughness that suggests old posters, utilitarian labeling, and casual display typography. Its slanted stance and inky quirks add motion and personality, landing somewhere between Western nostalgia and playful retro editorial.
The design appears intended to combine the steady cadence of monospaced, slabby construction with a more human, inked presence. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and an expressive texture over strict geometric regularity, aiming for impact and warmth in display-led applications.
The uppercase has strong, blocky silhouettes that hold up well at larger sizes, while the lowercase keeps an energetic bounce through varied bowls and angled strokes. Numerals match the same chunky, slightly irregular construction, maintaining a consistent color across mixed text.
