A compact slab serif with sturdy, mostly uniform strokes and pronounced, blocky serifs. The serif treatment is slightly bracketed, giving corners a softened, stamped look rather than a razor-sharp finish. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is dense, with short extenders and a pragmatic, workmanlike texture in paragraphs. Numerals and capitals keep to the same solid, squared-off construction, reinforcing a consistent, mechanical presence.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short blocks of copy where a compact, sturdy serif texture is desirable. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a vintage or utilitarian voice, and can work effectively for display lines that need a firm, stamped presence.
The tone feels typewriter-adjacent and archival, with a no-nonsense, industrial confidence. Its chunky slabs and compact proportions read as practical and slightly rugged, evoking forms, labels, and old printed matter rather than polished luxury branding.
Designed to deliver a tough, compact slab-serif texture with a typewriter-inspired practicality, prioritizing a consistent stroke feel and strong serif anchoring for impactful reading and a vintage-print atmosphere.
In text settings the face produces a dark, steady color with clear vertical emphasis and minimal stroke modulation. The shapes lean toward straightforward geometry, and the serif blocks create strong word silhouettes that suit bold, poster-like lines as well as dense setting at moderate sizes.
