A monoline serif design with sturdy slab forms and noticeably rounded, softened corners. The serifs read as bold and bracketed/rounded rather than sharp, giving terminals a cushioned, stamped look. Letterforms are fairly open with clear apertures and a slightly uneven, mechanical rhythm reminiscent of imprinted type, helped by small notches and joins that feel like subtle ink-trap detailing. Proportions are practical and text-forward, with compact curves and straight stems that maintain consistent stroke weight across the set.
It performs well for editorial typography and long-form text where a typewriter-inspired texture is desirable without becoming overly distressed. The sturdy slabs and rounded terminals also suit packaging, tags, labels, and headline accents where a vintage-imprint voice adds personality while remaining legible.
The overall tone is typewriter-like and workmanlike, with a gentle friendliness from the rounded slabs. It suggests archival documents, labels, and utilitarian printing, balancing retro character with straightforward readability.
The design appears intended to evoke classic typewriter and stamped-print aesthetics with softened slab serifs for approachability. It aims for dependable readability and an even typographic color, while preserving small mechanical details that add character at display and text sizes.
Capitals feel structured and steady, while the lowercase keeps a simple, functional skeleton that maintains a consistent texture in paragraphs. Numerals match the same sturdy, softened treatment, supporting a cohesive, printed-page color.
