A softly slanted serif with slab-like feet and gently rounded terminals throughout. Strokes stay fairly even, with subtle modulation and a slightly ink-trap/pressed feel at joins that suggests print or typewriter influence. The letterforms are compact and upright in construction but consistently oblique, with open counters and modest apertures that keep the texture clear. Serifs are short and cushioned rather than sharp, and the overall rhythm is steady with a lightly irregular, humanized finish.
This font suits editorial pull quotes, book-jacket titling, and short-to-medium passages where a personable serif texture is desired. It also works well for packaging, café or boutique branding, and posters that benefit from a retro, typewritten flavor without looking distressed.
The tone feels vintage and approachable—more literary and personal than formal. Its rounded slabs and oblique posture give it a conversational, handwritten-adjacent energy while still reading like a practical text face. The result is warm, slightly nostalgic, and quietly quirky.
The design appears intended to blend the practicality of a readable slab serif with the charm of rounded, typewriter-like details. It aims for clarity and consistency while adding a soft, human touch through curved terminals, compact serifs, and an expressive oblique stance.
Uppercase forms lean toward simple, classic proportions, while lowercase adds character through single-storey shapes and rounded hooks, contributing to an informal voice. Numerals echo the same softened slab treatment, and the italic angle is pronounced enough to read as a deliberate style rather than a minor slant.
