A compact, monoline serif with sturdy slab-like feet and gently rounded joins that soften the otherwise utilitarian skeleton. Stems stay even in weight, while terminals and serifs read as short, squared shapes with subtly eased edges, giving a stamped or typewriter-like bite without sharpness. Proportions are tight with relatively narrow letterforms, generous internal counters, and clear, simple curves in round letters like O and Q; the overall rhythm is steady and legible in text.
Works well for body copy, captions, and pull quotes where a compact serif with a stable texture is desirable. It also suits packaging, labels, and identity accents that want a typewriter-adjacent, vintage utility feel while staying clean and readable.
The face conveys a classic typewritten, editorial tone tempered by approachable rounded details. It feels practical and dependable, with a slightly nostalgic voice suited to notes, labels, and straightforward messaging rather than high-formality.
The design appears intended to blend typewriter-era sturdiness with softer, rounded slab details for comfortable readability and a warm, practical personality. It prioritizes consistent stroke weight and clear silhouettes to maintain an even text color across longer passages.
The numeral set follows the same sturdy, softened slab vocabulary, with clear differentiation between forms (notably the open, rounded 0 and the sturdy, footed 1). In the text sample, spacing and color hold together evenly, producing a consistent, mildly mechanical texture that remains friendly thanks to the rounded corners.
