A compact slab-serif with softly rounded corners and bulbous, typewriter-like serifs. Strokes stay mostly even in thickness with low contrast, while joints and terminals show gentle swelling and slight irregularity that suggests ink spread or a lightly distressed imprint. Counters are open and shapes are simplified, giving the alphabet a steady, readable rhythm; curves (C, G, S) feel smooth and slightly squarish, and the numerals match the same sturdy, softened construction.
Well suited to headings, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial text where a vintage or typewritten voice is desired. It also fits branding and packaging that benefits from a friendly, analog feel—such as café menus, labels, and poster-style promotions.
The overall tone is warm and nostalgic, evoking office typewritten ephemera and mid-century print. Its rounded slabs and subtly imperfect texture add an approachable, human feel that reads more playful than formal.
The design appears intended to combine the sturdy clarity of a slab serif with rounded, typewriter-inflected details, prioritizing charm and approachability over strict mechanical precision.
Serifs are consistently heavy and rounded rather than sharp, helping the design hold together at modest sizes while retaining character. The punctuation and ampersand in the sample text maintain the same soft, stamped quality, reinforcing a cohesive “impressed-on-paper” impression.
