A lightly weighted serif with slab-like, softly rounded terminals and subtle bracketing that keeps the serifs from feeling harsh. Strokes stay relatively even, with gentle swelling at joins and rounded ends that read almost stamped or typewritten. Proportions are on the condensed side with tall ascenders and descenders, giving the text a vertical, rhythmic cadence. Curves (C, O, S) are open and smooth, while the numerals are clean and readable with modest detailing that matches the letters.
Well suited to editorial headlines and subheads, book or magazine covers, and brand systems that want a retro or typewriter-adjacent voice. It can also work for packaging, menus, and posters where a gentle, approachable serif with a bit of character helps set the tone.
The overall tone feels vintage and utilitarian with a friendly softness—suggestive of typewritten documents and mid‑century print, but polished enough for contemporary layout. Its rounded slab details add a casual, personable character that keeps it from becoming overly formal.
The design appears intended to blend typewriter-inspired familiarity with softened slab serifs for an inviting, legible texture. It prioritizes a consistent rhythm and recognizable letterforms while adding just enough idiosyncrasy to feel distinctive in titles and identity work.
In text, the face maintains a consistent texture and a steady baseline, with distinctive, slightly playful shapes in letters like g, y, and j that add personality without disrupting reading flow. The set looks designed to remain clear at display sizes while still holding together in shorter passages.
