A compact serif with monoline strokes and softly bracketed, slab-like serifs that end in rounded terminals. The outlines feel slightly organic, with subtle swelling and tapering at joins that gives an inked, stamped impression rather than a strictly geometric build. Proportions are narrow and vertically oriented, with a modest x-height and generous ascenders/descenders that create an airy, literary texture. Numerals and caps keep the same steady stroke weight and rounded finishing, maintaining an even, readable rhythm across the set.
Well suited to editorial paragraphs, book-like layouts, and short-form reading where a vintage, printed texture is desirable. It also works effectively for packaging, labels, and posters that aim for a retro or archival voice without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is distinctly typewriter-adjacent and nostalgic, evoking printed pages, labels, and archival materials. Rounded serifs and softened corners add friendliness and approachability, while the narrow proportions keep it disciplined and editorial. Small irregularities in shape and join behavior lend a quirky, handcrafted warmth.
The design appears intended to blend typewriter and slab-serif cues into a compact, readable text face with softened terminals. It prioritizes steady rhythm and legibility while adding just enough organic irregularity to suggest ink and paper character.
Rounded terminals and small, bulb-like serif endings appear consistently across straight and curved strokes, helping maintain clarity at text sizes. Curves are open and slightly elliptical, and the spacing in the sample text supports a measured, classic reading cadence.
