A compact slab-serif with uniform stroke weight and heavily rounded, bracket-free slab terminals. Counters are relatively small and oval, with softened joins and corners throughout, giving the letters a cushioned, inked-in feel. The rhythm is steady and mechanical, with tight internal spacing and a consistent, sturdy texture across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same monoline construction and rounded slab finishing, maintaining a cohesive, workmanlike color in text.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and branding where a vintage-meets-friendly slab texture is desired. It works well for posters, packaging, café or retail signage, and identity systems that benefit from a sturdy, nostalgic tone and clear letterforms with distinctive terminals.
The overall tone evokes typewriter and rubber-stamp ephemera—practical and authoritative, but with a warm, approachable softness. Its rounded slabs and compact proportions add a nostalgic, handcrafted charm that reads as friendly rather than severe.
Likely designed to capture a classic typewriter/slab-serif voice while softening it through rounded terminals and corners, creating a robust display face that remains approachable. The consistent stroke weight and compact rhythm suggest a focus on strong texture and legibility in impactful, medium-to-large sizes.
Uppercase forms feel slightly condensed with prominent, rounded terminals that visually anchor lines. The lowercase shows simple, familiar structures (single-story a and g) that keep the voice informal and readable at display sizes, while the heavy terminals create a distinctive, slightly inky silhouette.
