A chunky slab-serif with a monoline feel, softened throughout by rounded corners and bulb-like slab terminals. The strokes keep an even weight, while counters and joins are squared-off and slightly condensed, giving the letters a compact, engineered rhythm. Serifs are heavy and bracketless in spirit but consistently softened, and several joins show subtle notch/ink-trap shaping that helps the dense forms stay open. Uppercase proportions are sturdy and blocky; lowercase is compact with a notably tall x-height and simple, workmanlike construction.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where its heavy slabs and rounded geometry can carry personality. It also works well for signage and simple logo wordmarks that need a sturdy, friendly presence, and can be used for short text runs when spacing is tuned for comfort.
The overall tone is robust and approachable, blending a utilitarian, typewriter-adjacent flavor with a friendlier rounded finish. It reads as confident and practical rather than elegant, with a slightly nostalgic, signage-like character.
The design appears intended to deliver a tough, legible slab-serif voice while avoiding harshness, using rounded terminals and compact, squared forms to maintain clarity and a cohesive, retro-utility texture.
The numerals and caps share the same squared geometry and rounded slab terminals, producing a consistent, stamp-like color in text. In paragraphs, the tight internal shapes and heavy terminals create strong texture, making the design feel best when given a bit of breathing room in tracking and line spacing.
