This is an oblique slab-serif design with sturdy, squared-off serifs and a consistent, even stroke texture. The letterforms are broad and generously spaced, producing a calm horizontal rhythm that reads clearly in blocks of text. Serifs are prominent but not delicate, and many joins show slight bracketing that softens the otherwise squared construction. Curves (C, G, O, g, e) stay open and controlled, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) are clean and stable, giving the face a practical, engineered feel.
It performs well for editorial text, technical documentation, and UI or print captions where a steady rhythm and clear character differentiation are useful. The typewriter-leaning texture also fits branding or packaging that wants a vintage or utilitarian voice, especially for short paragraphs and pull-quote style settings.
The overall tone evokes classic typewriter and newsroom typography—serious, straightforward, and a bit nostalgic. Its oblique stance adds a subtle sense of motion without becoming expressive or calligraphic, keeping the voice professional and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif texture with a typewriter-like cadence, balancing sturdiness and clarity for practical reading. The oblique angle seems aimed at offering emphasis while preserving a disciplined, mechanical structure.
Figures share the same sturdy slab character as the letters, with clear, differentiated shapes for quick recognition in text. The lowercase shows familiar, readable forms (notably a single-storey a and open e), and punctuation and spacing in the sample create an even, predictable rhythm suited to continuous reading.
