A compact slab-serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and mostly squared terminals softened by subtle rounding. Strokes stay fairly even, with gentle modulation and occasional teardrop-like joins that give the outlines an inked, slightly calligraphic flavor. The letterforms are tall and compact, with a steady vertical posture and a lively, mildly uneven rhythm across the set. Counters are open and legible, and the numerals follow the same sturdy, slightly quirky construction with clear, readable shapes.
Well-suited to editorial display—book covers, headlines, and pull quotes—where its slab structure and compact proportions create a confident, attention-holding texture. It can also work for posters and packaging that want a vintage-print or typewriter-inflected voice while staying readable at moderate sizes.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and old-print friendly, combining solidity with a lightly playful, imperfect charm. It reads as practical and familiar, but with enough idiosyncrasy to add character in headings or short text.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity of a sturdy slab serif with the warmth of inked, slightly irregular detailing. It aims for legibility and presence while injecting a handmade, period-evocative personality into the page.
In running text the texture is dense but not heavy, with distinctive slab terminals that create a pronounced baseline and cap-line presence. Several glyphs show small asymmetries and expressive details that help it avoid a purely mechanical look.
