A monoline serif with sturdy slab-like feet and subtly bracketed joins that keep the forms soft rather than rigid. Strokes stay largely even, with rounded terminals and small ball-like nubs appearing on several letters, giving the outlines an inked, slightly worn texture. Counters are compact and curves are generously rounded, while verticals remain straight and steady, producing a consistent, readable rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same sturdy, gently idiosyncratic construction, with a few distinctive details such as the angled leg on the R and a curled tail on the Q.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book or zine covers, and poster headlines where a vintage, typewritten flavor is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that benefits from a crafted, approachable serif with clear letterforms.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and old-print in spirit—practical and legible, yet pleasantly quirky. Its softened slabs and slightly irregular detailing suggest a human touch, evoking stationery, small-press printing, or retro editorial design.
The design appears intended to merge the sturdiness of slab serifs with the familiar cadence of typewritten or letterpress text, adding rounded, inky details for warmth and memorability. It aims for everyday readability while maintaining a distinctive, slightly nostalgic voice.
The font’s character comes through in its distinctive terminals and mild asymmetries, which add personality without pushing into novelty. It retains enough structural discipline to work in paragraphs, while still standing out in short lines and headings.
