A compact slab-serif with sturdy, mostly even stroke weight and heavy rectangular serifs. The forms are narrow with tight internal counters and a consistent, mechanical rhythm. Serifs and terminals are blunt and squared-off, but corners are slightly softened, giving the letters a subtly worn, stamped impression. Numerals and capitals share the same dense, blocky structure, producing dark, steady color in text.
This font suits headlines, subheads, signage, and packaging where a sturdy, vintage-leaning slab presence is wanted. It also works well for badges, labels, and short editorial callouts that benefit from a compact footprint and strong typographic color.
The overall tone feels typewriter-like and workmanly, with a retro editorial character. Its heavy, no-nonsense shapes read as dependable and practical, while the softened edges add a friendly, slightly nostalgic warmth.
The design appears intended to evoke a classic typewriter or industrial print feel while remaining robust and highly legible at display sizes. Its compact proportions and firm slab serifs prioritize impact and a consistent, utilitarian rhythm.
The design’s strong serifs and compact spacing create a distinctive texture that holds together well in short lines and display settings. The narrow build and small counters can make long passages feel dense, but they also help the font stay punchy in constrained layouts.
