A sturdy slab serif with mostly even stroke weight and compact, squared-off shaping. Serifs are prominent and largely flat-ended, with slight bracketing in places, giving the letters a firm, anchored stance. Curves appear slightly faceted and the overall drawing shows mild irregularities at joins and terminals, suggesting an inked or stamped impression rather than a perfectly clinical finish. Proportions are readable and fairly traditional, with a moderate x-height, open counters, and a rhythm that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a firm, old-style typographic voice is desired, including book interiors, pull quotes, and headlines. The strong slabs also make it effective for posters, packaging, and brand systems that lean on heritage, workshop, or typewriter-inspired cues.
The tone is practical and mechanical with a clear vintage typewriter and printed-ephemera feel. Its mild roughness adds a tactile, humanized edge, keeping the voice approachable while still feeling authoritative and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif workhorse with a subtle printed patina—combining sturdy structure and clear reading with just enough irregularity to evoke analog production.
In the text sample, the face holds together well at reading sizes, with strong verticals and confident slab serifs that maintain clarity in dense paragraphs. The numerals and capitals feel especially solid, making the overall texture slightly robust and dark without becoming heavy.
