A compact slab-serif with sturdy, monolinear strokes and softly bracketed serifs that read like rounded “feet” rather than sharp slabs. Curves are slightly squarish and gently pinched, giving bowls and shoulders an inked, hand-pressed character. Terminals often end in small bulb-like forms, and joins show subtle flare and notching that adds texture without raising contrast. Overall spacing feels tight and efficient, with consistent rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book covers, and pull quotes where a compact, vintage slab voice adds character without sacrificing legibility. It also fits packaging, café/retail branding, and poster titling that benefits from a typewriter-inspired, tactile feel. In longer text it remains readable, though its textured terminals make it especially effective for headings and short blocks.
The font conveys a typewriter-and-printshop nostalgia—warm, approachable, and a little imperfect in a deliberate way. Its chunky serifs and soft corners create a friendly, storybook tone while still feeling utilitarian and editorial. The textured details suggest ink on paper rather than a purely digital finish.
The design appears intended to blend utilitarian slab-serif construction with a typewritten, inked texture—creating a dependable reading face that still carries personality. Its compact proportions and consistent stroke weight emphasize economy and clarity, while softened serifs and notched joins provide a handcrafted, nostalgic signature.
Capitals are tall and straightforward with confident stems, while lowercase maintains a readable, traditional structure. The numerals share the same sturdy build and rounded slab terminals, keeping a cohesive color in mixed text. The design’s small notches and softened joins add personality that becomes more apparent at display sizes.
