A monoline slab-serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and softly bracketed joins. Strokes stay largely uniform, with subtle flare and notch-like transitions at some terminals that create a slightly ink-trap, stamped impression. Counters are compact and mostly rounded-rectangular, and the overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with tall ascenders/descenders and a relatively restrained internal spacing that keeps words looking dense and even. Numerals and capitals share the same blunt, mechanical construction, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation through distinct bowls and hooked terminals.
Well suited for editorial heads and subheads, product packaging, posters, and signage where a rugged slab presence helps text hold together at a glance. It also fits labels, forms, and UI accents that benefit from a typewriter/industrial voice, while remaining readable in short-to-medium passages.
The face reads as utilitarian and workmanlike, evoking typewritten forms, workshop labeling, and old industrial printing. Its sturdy slabs and compact spacing give it a practical, no-nonsense tone with a mild vintage flavor rather than a refined literary feel.
Likely designed to blend the practicality of typewriter-inspired slabs with a more constructed, display-friendly solidity. The consistent stroke weight and emphatic serifs aim to provide dependable legibility and a recognizable industrial character across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Curves tend to resolve into squared-off shoulders and flattened arcs, producing a crisp, engineered silhouette. The design maintains strong baseline and cap-line discipline, and the heavier serifs add visual anchoring that remains prominent in running text.
