A lightly weighted slab serif with a monoline feel and softly bracketed, rounded slab terminals. Strokes stay even with minimal contrast, while corners and joins are gently eased, giving the forms a smooth, slightly cushioned edge rather than sharp cuts. Proportions run a bit compact, with clear, open counters and straightforward construction in both cases; numerals are simple and readable with the same softened slab treatment across stems and horizontals.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a classic serif voice is desired without sharp, high-contrast details. It can work for book or magazine typography at comfortable sizes, and its typewriter-like warmth also fits posters, packaging, and brand systems that want a practical, friendly, slightly vintage tone.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and utilitarian, but softened by rounded slabs and gentle bracketing. It reads as approachable and mildly retro, balancing workmanlike clarity with a warm, personable texture.
Likely intended to merge traditional slab-serif sturdiness with a softer, more personable finish, keeping letterforms straightforward and highly legible. The rounded, bracketed slabs suggest an aim for a dependable text texture that still carries character and a gentle retro flavor.
Uppercase shapes show restrained, traditional skeletons with sturdy crossbars and consistent serif behavior, while lowercase maintains an even rhythm and calm texture in text. The sample paragraph holds together cleanly at display and large-text sizes, with a distinctive “inked” softness coming from the rounded slab endings.
