A compact, serifed text face with softly rounded slab-like serifs and gently blunted terminals. Strokes are mostly even with subtle modulation, giving a steady rhythm and a calm, legible texture. Proportions feel condensed with tall ascenders and descenders, and the lowercase shows a modest x-height that emphasizes verticality. Curves are smooth and slightly narrow, while serifs and joins are rounded rather than sharp, producing a warm, mechanical-meets-handset impression. Numerals are simple and readable, matching the same rounded serif treatment and consistent spacing.
Works well for book and magazine typography, long-form reading, and editorial layouts where a compact fit and steady color are useful. It also suits pull quotes, chapter titles, menus, and brand systems seeking a retro or typewriter-informed voice without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is typewriter-adjacent and nostalgic, with a friendly softness that keeps it from feeling harsh or overly formal. It reads as literary and slightly quirky—suggestive of editorial copy, classic stationery, or retro packaging—while remaining composed enough for continuous text.
The design appears intended to blend typewriter-like familiarity with a softer, more contemporary finish, using rounded slabby serifs and compact proportions to create a distinctive yet practical reading face.
The face maintains a consistent, lightly condensed rhythm across capitals and lowercase, with rounded detailing that becomes especially noticeable at stroke ends and serifs. The texture in paragraphs appears even and calm, favoring clarity over high drama, with a distinct vintage flavor that stands out in headlines and pull quotes.
