A compact slab-serif with consistent, low-contrast strokes and softly rounded, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are narrow and economical, with a relatively low x-height and clear, open counters that keep texture even in paragraph settings. Terminals and joins show a gentle rounding that reduces sharpness, while the overall construction stays steady and restrained. Numerals and capitals follow the same measured rhythm, producing a tidy, workmanlike color across lines.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a typewriter-leaning voice is desired, including book interiors, essays, and longform articles. It also works effectively for captions, notes, labels, and UI copy that benefits from a compact footprint and steady rhythm, as well as branding elements seeking a subdued retro or archival character.
The tone reads distinctly typewriter-inspired and vintage, with an institutional, no-nonsense presence. Its softened slabs add approachability without losing the disciplined, editorial feel, making it feel both nostalgic and practical rather than decorative.
The design appears aimed at delivering a typewriter-adjacent slab serif that stays readable and controlled in continuous text. By pairing compact proportions with rounded slab details and low contrast, it balances a classic utilitarian voice with a softer, more contemporary finish.
Curves (notably in C, G, O, S) maintain smooth, controlled bowls, while the slab treatment remains consistent across the alphabet for a cohesive texture. The compact proportions encourage tight line lengths and a dense, readable typographic grain when set in blocks of text.
