A sturdy slab-serif with square, unbracketed serifs and largely monoline strokes. The letterforms are built from straightforward verticals and horizontals with softly rounded curves, giving a firm, even texture in text. Counters are open and proportions are pragmatic rather than delicate, while details like the slab terminals and compact joins keep the silhouette bold and stable. Numerals and capitals read with a slightly mechanical regularity, and the overall rhythm feels structured and consistent across the set.
Well suited to body copy where a firm, high-contrast-free texture is desired, such as editorial pages, books, and essays. Its slab structure also works effectively for labels, instructions, packaging, and other utilitarian typography that benefits from a sturdy, vintage-leaning voice.
The tone is utilitarian and matter-of-fact, with a clear typewriter and industrial-printing flavor. It carries a classic, archival feel—confident and no-nonsense—without becoming overly formal, making it feel familiar and dependable.
The design appears intended to deliver a practical slab-serif with a typewriter-adjacent cadence: solid construction, consistent rhythm, and clear letterforms that feel at home in print-forward, informational contexts.
Serifs are prominent and squared-off, creating strong baseline and cap-line anchoring that holds up well in dense settings. The shapes favor clarity over flourish, with minimal stroke modulation and a robust presence that remains legible at moderate sizes.
