A compact slab-serif with mostly uniform stroke weight and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes end in rounded, bulb-like terminals that give the face a slightly worn, inked impression, and many curves show gentle swelling at joins. Proportions are condensed with tight counters and a relatively small x-height, while capitals feel tall and upright. The overall texture is even and steady, with subtly irregular terminal shapes that keep it from feeling overly mechanical.
It works well for display and short-to-medium text where a vintage or literary tone is desired—posters, book covers, pull quotes, menus, and packaging. The condensed footprint helps in space-constrained layouts, while the soft slabs and rounded terminals keep longer passages from feeling overly rigid.
The font conveys a vintage, typewriter-adjacent mood with a touch of handmade warmth. Its rounded terminals and softened slabs feel friendly and slightly rustic, suggesting printed matter, old packaging, or editorial ephemera rather than sleek modern branding.
The design appears intended to blend the steady rhythm of a monoline slab serif with a softened, inked terminal treatment that evokes typewritten or letterpress-like charm. It prioritizes personality and a cohesive texture across uppercase, lowercase, and figures for versatile use in expressive editorial and branding contexts.
Figures are simple and legible with the same softened slab treatment as the letters, helping maintain a consistent page color in mixed text. The distinctive terminal styling is strong enough to read as a signature detail, especially in headlines and short paragraphs.
