A compact, monoline slab serif with gently rounded, bulb-like terminals and softened corners throughout. The letterforms are upright and relatively narrow, with modest contrast and an even, steady rhythm. Serifs read as sturdy but not sharp, giving stems and arms a slightly cushioned finish. Counters are clean and open, while curves (like C, G, O, and S) stay smooth and controlled, producing a consistent texture in both capitals and lowercase.
Well-suited for body copy and editorial settings where a compact serif can deliver a steady, readable texture. The rounded slab details also make it a strong choice for packaging, labels, and informational signage that benefits from a friendly, utilitarian tone. It can work effectively for headlines when a restrained vintage/typewritten character is desired without overt ornament.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and retro, with a practical, documentary voice softened by rounded details. It suggests approachable authority—functional and legible, yet warm rather than severe. The result is a mildly nostalgic, editorial flavor that stays calm and unobtrusive in reading.
This design appears intended to blend the practicality and economy of narrow, monoline letterforms with softened slab terminals for a more approachable voice. The consistent stroke and rounded finishing aim to preserve clarity in continuous text while adding a subtle retro character for branding and editorial applications.
In running text the narrow proportions create an efficient line length and a tight, tidy color. The rounded slab endings help reduce harshness at small sizes and lend a slightly handmade, stamped impression without becoming distressed or irregular. Numerals and punctuation follow the same rounded, monoline logic for a cohesive set.
