This typeface features sturdy, slab-like serifs with noticeably rounded corners and softened terminals throughout. Strokes are largely even, producing a calm, low-contrast rhythm, while subtle irregularities and swelling at joins give it an inked, slightly worn texture. The overall proportions are compact, with short serifs and open counters that keep letters readable despite the tight footprint. Curves are full and smooth (notably in C, G, O, and S), and the lowercase shows a simple, straightforward construction with a single-storey a and g and a round, prominent i dot.
It suits short to medium-length text where a vintage, tactile voice is desired—packaging, café menus, posters, book covers, pull quotes, and branding accents. It can also work for readable display paragraphs in invitations or editorial sidebars when a typewriter-adjacent, personable tone is needed.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, evoking typewriter and mid-century print ephemera rather than crisp contemporary editorial typography. Its softened slabs and gently imperfect texture feel human and informal, suggesting a nostalgic, craft-forward voice without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to blend the sturdy structure of slab serifs with softened, rounded finishing, creating a typewriter-inspired texture that remains legible and friendly. Its consistent stroke weight and compact proportions aim for dependable readability while retaining a distinctive, nostalgic character.
Numerals follow the same rounded slab logic, with friendly curves and a slightly quirky, hand-inked presence. The sample text shows steady spacing and an even color on the page, with the rounded serifs helping lines feel cohesive and slightly bouncy.
