A heavy slab-serif design with compact, blocky letterforms and generous rounding at corners and terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, creating dense, punchy silhouettes and a steady horizontal rhythm. Serifs are blunt and bracketed, and counters are relatively small, giving the face a sturdy, inked look. Overall spacing and alignment feel strictly regular, reinforcing a measured, mechanical texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a bold, mechanical voice is desired—posters, packaging, product labels, title treatments, and pull quotes. It also works well for retro-themed interfaces or props where a typewritten impression and strong presence are needed. For long reading, larger sizes and generous leading will help the dark texture breathe.
The font conveys a retro, workmanlike tone with a slightly worn, stamped quality. Its soft rounding keeps the heaviness approachable, balancing toughness with a friendly, everyday feel. The result suggests utilitarian documents, labels, and artifacts where character and grit are welcome.
The design appears intended to evoke typewritten output with a sturdier, more graphic slab-serif build, prioritizing regular rhythm and immediate impact. Rounded details and ink-like shapes suggest a deliberate nod to imperfect printing while keeping forms consistent and highly legible.
The lowercase shows simple, sturdy constructions with single-storey forms where expected, and punctuation and numerals match the same rounded, slabby treatment. In paragraph settings the texture is dark and cohesive, with strong word shapes and clear separation despite the dense weight.
