A compact slab-serif with sturdy, mostly monoline strokes and softly bracketed serifs. The letterforms are narrow with a steady vertical rhythm, and terminals often finish in rounded, slightly bulbous feet that recall stamped or cast type. Counters are open and shapes stay simple and upright, with gentle curve transitions and subtle notches/ink-trap-like joins in places (notably around curves and crotches). Numerals and lowercase follow the same pragmatic construction, keeping consistent weight and a slightly mechanical, print-oriented texture.
Well suited to short-to-medium headlines, subheads, and punchy display copy where a vintage slab-serif texture is desired. It can work effectively on posters, labels, and packaging, and in branding systems that want a typewriter/print-shop vibe without extreme contrast or delicacy.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and retro, with a straightforward, workmanlike character that still reads warm rather than austere. Its sturdy slabs and compact proportions evoke vintage editorial printing, packaging, and utilitarian signage where clarity and presence matter.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of classic slab-serif printing—compact, robust, and legible—while adding softened, slightly stamped details to keep the texture lively in display settings.
Spacing and proportions create a slightly uneven, humanized cadence typical of display cuts inspired by older printing methods. The bold serif feet and rounded joins give it a distinctive texture at larger sizes, while the narrow build helps it stay economical in width.
