A soft slab-serif with rounded, bracketed serifs and smoothly eased terminals that keep the texture calm and even. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with gentle curves and open apertures that support clarity. Proportions are on the broad side with roomy bowls and a steady rhythm, while the lowercase maintains a practical, readable build with simple, sturdy joins.
It works well for editorial headlines and subheads where a warm serif presence is desired, and it can carry branding and packaging that benefit from an approachable, vintage-leaning voice. The even stroke weight and open shapes also make it suitable for short paragraphs, pull quotes, and display text in posters or book-cover typography.
The overall tone feels friendly and slightly nostalgic, like a refined take on typewriter and mid-century editorial letterforms. Its softened edges and wide stance give it an inviting, informal confidence without turning playful or quirky.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif sturdiness with softened terminals to create a readable, personable texture. It emphasizes consistency and comfort over sharp contrast or calligraphic detail, aiming for versatile, contemporary use with a retro undertone.
The numerals and caps read sturdy and stable, with consistent serif treatment that reinforces the family likeness across the set. The letterforms avoid sharp corners in favor of rounded transitions, producing a smooth, low-drama paragraph color in the sample text.
