A monoline slab serif with gently bracketed, blocky serifs and slightly rounded stroke endings that create a soft, inked feel. Strokes stay fairly even throughout, while small irregularities in curves and joins give the outlines a subtly hand-rendered, letterpress-like texture. The capitals are modestly proportioned with open counters and straightforward construction, and the lowercase shows compact bowls and simple, sturdy forms. Numerals are plain and readable, matching the same slabbed, lightly quirky rhythm as the letters.
Well suited to editorial headlines, book covers, pull quotes, and posters where a vintage, tactile voice is desired. It can also work for branding, menus, and packaging that benefit from an approachable, old-print atmosphere, especially at larger sizes where the irregularities read as intentional texture.
The overall tone reads nostalgic and personable—like a worn paperback, typewritten note, or small-press print. Its mild roughness and soft terminals add warmth without becoming overly decorative, suggesting an informal, literary character.
The design appears intended to evoke classic slab-serif printing and typewriter-era typography, combining solid, readable structures with a lightly imperfect finish for warmth and character.
Spacing and rhythm feel slightly uneven in a deliberate way, enhancing the analog impression. The strong slab presence helps maintain clarity at display and subhead sizes, while the textured details become more apparent as the size increases.
