A sturdy slab-serif with blunt, squared terminals and mostly uniform stroke weight. The letterforms show subtle irregularities and soft, inked edges that create a lightly distressed, stamped impression rather than a crisp digital outline. Counters are compact and the curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are slightly pinched, contributing to a dense, workmanlike texture. Serifs are short and blocky, with a generally even, upright rhythm and straightforward, no-nonsense proportions across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and display sizes where its inky texture and slab structure can carry atmosphere. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage-inspired graphics that benefit from a stamped or typewritten feel, and can work in editorial contexts when a vintage or industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone feels archival and mechanical—like typed copy, catalog labeling, or workshop markings—tempered by a handmade, imperfect print character. It reads as practical and dependable, with a hint of grit that suggests age, use, and physical media.
The design appears aimed at evoking classic typewritten slab-serif forms while introducing a subtly worn, analog printing texture. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, sturdy serifs, and a cohesive, gritty color for impactful display typography.
In paragraph settings the heavy, dark color builds quickly, giving headings and short blocks a strong presence while maintaining legibility. The slight wobble and roughened edges are consistent enough to feel intentional, adding personality without turning into decorative novelty.
