A compact slab-serif with softly rounded corners and bulb-like terminals that give the serifs a cushioned, stamped look. Strokes are largely monoline, with minimal contrast and a steady, even rhythm across words. Proportions feel tight and economical, with small counters and a notably short x-height relative to the capitals. Curves are slightly squarish and controlled, and many joins end in rounded nubs, creating a consistent, tactile texture on the page.
Works well for editorial headlines, book-cover titling, and short-to-medium text where a distinctive, vintage voice is desired. The compact build and steady stroke make it suitable for packaging, labels, and poster typography, especially when you want a typewriter-adjacent texture with softer edges.
The overall tone is nostalgic and approachable, evoking typewriter and rubber-stamp ephemera without feeling harsh or mechanical. Its rounded slabs and restrained drawing read as friendly and slightly quirky, lending a handcrafted, literary character to headings and short passages.
Likely designed to blend typewriter-inspired sturdiness with rounded, contemporary friendliness, producing a compact slab that feels both utilitarian and characterful. The consistent monoline drawing and rounded terminals suggest an emphasis on legibility and a recognizable, nostalgic texture in display and text settings.
Uppercase forms show a mix of straight, sturdy stems and softened terminals, while lowercase retains a compact, old-style feel with tight spacing and sturdy feet. Numerals are similarly solid and legible, keeping the same rounded slab treatment so text and figures feel cohesive.
