A compact serif with sturdy, slab-like feet and noticeably rounded terminals that soften the overall color. Strokes stay largely even, with gentle swelling at joins and small ball-like ends on some strokes, creating a slightly inky, stamped impression. Counters are open and proportions are tight, giving lines a dense, economical rhythm while retaining clear letter separation. The lowercase shows a simple, workmanlike construction with a single-storey “a” and “g” and a tall, narrow profile that keeps words tidy and column-friendly.
Well-suited to short-to-medium reading in editorial layouts where a compact measure is useful, and to headings that want a vintage, typewriter-adjacent voice without harsh edges. It also fits packaging, café/retail signage, and brand systems aiming for a friendly, crafted sensibility.
The face reads as warm and utilitarian, combining the straightforward cadence of typewritten text with a more personable, softened finish. Its rounded slabs and slight irregularity cues a casual, retro tone that feels inviting rather than formal.
Likely designed to blend a no-nonsense slab structure with rounded details for comfort and personality, evoking traditional printing/typewriter cues while staying clean and dependable in setting.
Numerals echo the same compact, sturdy structure, with rounded ends that keep figures from looking sharp or brittle. The overall texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a coherent, slightly “printed” feel in continuous text.
