A compact slab serif with sturdy, mostly uniform strokes and generously bracketed serifs. The letterforms are set on a consistent reverse-leaning slant, giving the text a distinctive back-tilt without becoming cursive. Curves are slightly squarish and gently irregular, with small bends and subtle swelling at joins that create an inked, mechanical feel. Proportions are tight and efficient, with short ascenders/descenders and a workmanlike rhythm that stays readable in text while retaining a handmade edge.
Well suited to editorial settings where you want readable text with character—magazine features, book covers, pull quotes, and cultural posters. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefits from a retro, typewritten voice, especially at medium to large sizes where the slab details and reverse slant become part of the identity.
The overall tone is typewriter-like and editorial, with a slightly off-kilter, vintage personality. Its back-leaning stance and chunky slabs add a quirky, contrarian energy that feels literary and a bit playful rather than strictly formal.
The design appears intended to blend the sturdiness of slab serifs with a typewriter-inspired, imperfect texture, adding personality through a reverse slant and subtly irregular curves. It aims to feel practical and readable while still signaling a distinctive, vintage editorial voice.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and poster-friendly, while the lowercase shows a more conversational texture; the two together create a lively page color. Numerals follow the same compact, slabbed construction and maintain the font’s slightly irregular, inked character.
