A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, mostly uniform strokes and softly bracketed terminals that read as typewriter-like slabs rather than sharp wedges. The outlines have a subtly inked, slightly irregular edge that adds warmth without turning into overt distressing. Proportions are compact with rounded counters and a gently rolling baseline rhythm; bowls and shoulders stay full, while joins remain simple and robust. Numerals follow the same plainspoken construction, with clear, workmanlike shapes and consistent stroke endings.
It suits editorial display and short-to-medium text where a vintage, typed flavor is desirable—book and magazine work, pull quotes, and cultural posters. The sturdy slabs and even color also make it useful for branding and packaging that aims for an old-world or craft-printed feel.
The overall tone feels archival and tactile—like printed correspondence or a well-used press sample—balanced by a friendly, human cadence. It carries a nostalgic, literary character that suggests authenticity and a bit of handmade charm rather than polished modernity.
The design appears aimed at evoking classic typewriter/print ephemera in an italicized voice, combining sturdy slab construction with a lightly inked texture for a more human, analog impression.
The italic slant is steady and moderate, helping create forward motion in text while preserving legibility. Serifs stay short and sturdy, with softened corners that keep the texture even across lines.
