A compact slab serif with sturdy, mostly monoline strokes and pronounced square serifs. The serifs are bracketed and consistent, giving the letters a firm, mechanical footing and a steady horizontal rhythm. Counters are fairly open and the curves are slightly squared-off at joins, producing a crisp, workmanlike texture in text. Numerals and capitals read solid and uniform, with straightforward construction and minimal flourish.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, headlines, and pull quotes where a sturdy slab serif voice is needed. It can also support branding and packaging that want a dependable, vintage-utility feel, and it holds up clearly in poster-scale settings where the compact proportions help fit longer titles.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and industrial, with a practical, no-nonsense character. It suggests printed ephemera and utilitarian signage—confident and slightly retro without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab serif presence with typewriter-like pragmatism, emphasizing clarity, consistency, and a firm printed texture rather than calligraphic contrast or ornament.
In the text sample the face builds a strong, even color with clearly defined word shapes and emphatic verticals. The slab terminals add weight at the baseline and cap line, which helps headings feel grounded while keeping paragraph texture disciplined.
