A sturdy slab-serif design with monoline strokes and softly rounded corners throughout. Serifs are bold and bracketed with a gently cushioned, almost stamped feel, and many terminals end in rounded slabs rather than sharp cuts. Curves are generous and slightly squarish in places (notably in bowls and the zero), giving the forms a grounded, mechanical rhythm. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and compact joins that keep counters open and legible at text sizes.
It performs well in longer passages where a steady, even texture is needed, and it also suits headlines that benefit from a sturdy, slightly vintage voice. The rounded slabs and open counters make it a good fit for packaging, labels, instructional material, and print-forward designs where clarity and friendliness should coexist.
The overall tone is typewriter-adjacent and utilitarian, but softened by rounded detailing that makes it feel approachable rather than severe. It suggests archival documents, labeling, and everyday editorial typography with a mild retro warmth.
The design appears intended to blend the reliability of a slab-serif with the familiarity of typewriter forms, while using rounded terminals to reduce harshness and improve everyday readability. Its consistent stroke weight and sturdy serifs aim for durable performance across text and display applications.
Numerals are clear and robust, with the 0 reading as a rounded rectangle and the 1 featuring a prominent top flag and base. The sample text shows even color and consistent spacing, producing a steady, readable texture without delicate hairlines or sharp contrast transitions.
