A compact slab-serif with sturdy, monoline strokes and prominent, bracketed serifs. Terminals are softly squared and slightly rounded, giving the heavy forms a friendly edge while keeping a firm, engineered silhouette. Counters are relatively small and enclosed, with tight apertures that create a dense, high-impact texture. Curves and joins show subtle ink-trap-like notches, and overall spacing feels economical, producing an even, blocky rhythm in text.
Well suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where a dense, assertive texture is desirable. It can work effectively on packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from sturdy letterforms and strong presence. In longer text, it functions best at comfortable sizes where the tight apertures and compact spacing can remain clearly legible.
The font projects a utilitarian, workmanlike tone with clear typewriter and stamp-like associations. Its dense color and squared details feel mechanical and straightforward, while the rounded corners keep it from becoming harsh. The overall impression is nostalgic and practical, leaning toward editorial and packaging aesthetics with a touch of rugged charm.
Likely intended to deliver a robust slab-serif voice that echoes typewriter-era utility while remaining visually controlled and consistent. The design prioritizes strong presence, compact economy, and durable shapes that reproduce reliably across print-style applications.
Uppercase forms read as solid and emphatic, with strong slab presence and minimal modulation. The lowercase maintains the same sturdy construction, keeping bowls and stems compact for a consistent paragraph color. Numerals match the heavy, squared construction and feel designed to hold up in short, attention-getting settings.
