A sturdy slab-serif with a slightly irregular, typewriter-like rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even, with bracketed, squared serifs and gently rounded terminals that soften the overall texture. Counters are open and simple, curves are broad, and joins are straightforward, giving the letterforms a practical, no-nonsense construction. Spacing reads moderately loose and consistent, supporting a calm, readable line in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine text, and packaging where a grounded slab-serif voice is desired. It can also work effectively in headlines and posters when you want a classic, typed feel that remains highly legible at larger sizes.
The overall tone is utilitarian and familiar, evoking typed pages, reports, and mid-century print. It feels approachable and dependable rather than polished or ornamental, with a subtle handmade/inked impression that adds warmth without becoming distressed.
The design appears intended to capture the practical clarity of slab-serif printing with a hint of typewritten character, balancing robust shapes and readable spacing for extended text while retaining a distinctive, vintage-leaning texture.
The forms show small asymmetries and slightly varied edge behavior that keep repeated letters from feeling overly mechanical. Numerals share the same sturdy build and clear silhouettes, and the caps maintain a solid presence without looking overly formal.
