A soft-edged serif with slab-like feet and consistently rounded terminals, giving the strokes a gentle, cushioned finish. Stems are mostly monoline with minimal contrast, and many joins show subtle swelling and teardrop-like shaping that recalls ink spread. The proportions are readable and steady, with compact serifs, open counters, and a slightly uneven, organic rhythm that suggests a typewritten imprint rather than a crisp digital construction.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, captions, and pull quotes where a readable serif with personality is desired. It also fits branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a retro/typewriter mood, especially when set at medium to large sizes for texture and charm.
The overall tone feels warm and human, balancing a practical, document-like voice with a playful vintage character. Its rounded terminals and mild irregularities keep it from feeling formal, leaning instead toward friendly, nostalgic, and approachable messaging.
The design appears intended to evoke the familiarity of classic typewriter typography while smoothing the experience through rounded terminals and sturdy, slab-like serifs. It aims for legibility and even color on the page, paired with a deliberately human, lightly imperfect finish.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and straightforward, while lowercase retains clear differentiation and a modest, handwritten-typewriter flavor. Numerals and punctuation match the same soft, rounded treatment, helping paragraphs maintain an even texture without sharp or brittle edges.
