A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, unbracketed serifs and a largely monoline stroke. The letterforms mix squarish, rounded rectangles with straight-sided counters, producing a mildly boxy rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Terminals are blunt and squared-off, with subtle corner rounding that keeps the texture from feeling sharp. Spacing reads even and practical, and the overall construction favors clear silhouettes over delicate detailing.
Works well for body copy and editorial settings where a typewriter-like texture and steady readability are desired. It can also support packaging, posters, and short-form messaging that benefits from a practical, industrial voice, especially when set at medium sizes where the slab details and squarish curves stay distinct.
The tone is unmistakably typewriter-adjacent and workmanlike, with a retro editorial flavor. Its italic slant adds momentum and informality while the blocky slabs keep it grounded and mechanical. The result feels utilitarian, slightly rugged, and suited to text that wants to signal “printed” authenticity rather than polished luxury.
Designed to evoke utilitarian print and typewriter traditions while remaining sturdy and contemporary in construction. The italic posture suggests emphasis and forward motion, balancing mechanical slab structure with a more conversational, dynamic feel.
Numerals follow the same boxy, slabbed logic and remain highly legible at a glance. The sample text shows consistent color across lines, with the italic angle providing emphasis without relying on high contrast or calligraphic modulation.
