A sturdy slab-serif design with softly rounded corners and heavily bracketed feet that read as typewriter-inspired without looking overly rigid. Strokes are even and low in contrast, with broad, flat terminals that are subtly softened rather than sharp. The proportions are generous and open, with wide caps and a straightforward, legible lowercase; counters stay roomy and the rhythm is steady. Details like the curved leg on R, the rounded bowls, and the slightly teardrop/ink-trap-like joins give the letterforms a mellow, practical texture.
Well-suited to editorial text and longer reading where a robust serif can hold up without feeling formal. It also works nicely for packaging, signage, and posters that want a vintage, typed flavor with strong legibility. The consistent weight and soft slabs make it a practical choice for branding systems that need warmth without losing structure.
The overall tone feels familiar and human—evoking typed pages, workshop labels, and printed ephemera. Its soft slabs and rounded finishing keep it approachable and friendly, while the solid construction adds a dependable, utilitarian confidence.
The design appears intended to blend typewriter-era familiarity with a smoother, more contemporary finish—retaining the solid slab-serif backbone while softening corners and joins for comfort and readability across display and text settings.
The numerals match the letters with the same softened slabs and even color, supporting continuous text as well as short numeric strings. Spacing and shapes prioritize clarity, and the punctuation and dots appear sturdy and readable at text sizes.
