A compact serif with a monoline, low-contrast stroke and softly bracketed slab-like serifs. Corners are gently rounded and many terminals finish with small ball-like dots, giving the outlines a softened, slightly mechanical feel. Proportions run narrow with a short x-height and relatively tall ascenders, creating a crisp vertical rhythm; curves are open and circular, while joins stay clean and minimally modulated.
Works well for editorial settings where a vintage or typewritten flavor is desired, including magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes. The compact width and even stroke also suit packaging, labels, café menus, and identity systems aiming for a friendly retro voice. It can add character to invitations and short-form display lines while remaining legible in paragraphs.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and nostalgic, combining utilitarian structure with approachable softness. The rounded details and dotted terminals add a playful, bookish character that reads as retro and lightly whimsical rather than formal.
Likely designed to evoke classic typewriter and mid-century print textures while keeping a clean, consistent stroke for modern reproduction. The softened slabs and rounded terminals appear intended to balance sturdiness with warmth, delivering a distinctive text face that reads comfortably but retains personality.
Capitals are straightforward and sturdy, while the lowercase shows the most personality through rounded feet and dot terminals (notably on forms like a, f, j, and t). Numerals are clear and compact, matching the same softened slab logic and keeping a consistent, even color in text.
