A slanted slab-serif with a steady, near-monoline stroke and softly bracketed, rounded serifs. The letterforms are wide and open, with generous counters and a relaxed, readable rhythm. Terminals and joins feel cushioned rather than sharp, lending a slightly inky, stamped impression while staying clean and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
This style works well for editorial layouts, magazine features, and book text where a gentle typewriter-like flavor is desired without sacrificing readability. It also suits pull quotes, captions, and short-form packaging or menu copy that benefits from a warm, slightly retro voice.
The overall tone reads typewriter-adjacent and nostalgic, with a friendly, approachable warmth. Its italic slant adds motion and informality, making it feel conversational and lightly vintage rather than formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to blend classic slab-serif sturdiness with rounded, forgiving detailing and an italic, human touch. It aims for a familiar printed-text character—suggesting ink on paper—while maintaining an even, dependable texture in continuous reading.
Capitals show restrained, sturdy slab accents, while the lowercase keeps a simple, workmanlike structure that prioritizes clarity. Numerals match the same soft-seriffed construction and maintain an even color in running text, supporting comfortable paragraph setting.
