This font is a monoline slab serif with square, unbracketed terminals and a slightly uneven, inked finish that makes strokes feel hand-pressed rather than mechanically perfect. Proportions are compact with rounded bowls and softly squared counters, and many letters show small idiosyncrasies—off-center joins, subtly wobbly curves, and occasional teardrop-like interior details. The overall rhythm is lively and a bit bouncy, with consistent baseline behavior but enough irregularity in curves and serifs to read as intentionally distressed or analog.
This style suits packaging, posters, book covers, and branding that benefits from a vintage or handcrafted impression. It also works for short editorial headlines and pull quotes where the textured rhythm can be appreciated without overwhelming long passages.
It conveys a nostalgic, typewriter-adjacent tone with a whimsical, storybook edge. The irregular inking and quirky details add warmth and personality, suggesting craft, ephemera, and playful editorial voice rather than strict formality.
The design appears intended to blend sturdy slab-serif structure with an intentionally imperfect, ink-on-paper texture, capturing the feel of printed ephemera and casual typewritten material while remaining clear and readable.
In text, the slab serifs create a strong horizontal rail that helps words hold together, while the uneven stroke edges keep the texture active. Figures follow the same handmade logic, with open, readable forms and occasional decorative turns that match the letterforms’ character.
