A compact slab-serif with monoline-like stems and heavily rounded, bulbous serif terminals that read almost like typewriter feet. Curves are soft and slightly squarish, with small ink-trap-like notches where strokes meet, giving counters a pinched, textured feel. The lowercase is tight and condensed with a notably low x-height, while capitals stay narrow and tall, creating an overall vertical rhythm. Figures are simple and sturdy, matching the letterforms with rounded ends and a slightly uneven, analog-looking stress.
Well suited to headlines and short-to-medium passages where a retro, typewriter-adjacent texture is desirable—such as book covers, posters, menus, and packaging. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or themed interfaces where a friendly, analog voice is needed, especially when set with generous leading.
The font conveys a vintage, typewritten warmth with a playful, slightly eccentric tone. Its rounded slabs and pinched joins feel approachable and hand-inked, suggesting old labels, paperback covers, or retro editorial typography rather than sleek modern branding.
The design appears aimed at evoking typewriter-era slab serif construction while softening it with rounded terminals and slightly idiosyncratic joins for added charm and personality. It balances sturdy readability with a distinctive, nostalgic texture that stands out in branding and display settings.
Spacing appears compact and rhythmic, with strong, dark presence in text due to the dense proportions and rounded slabs. The distinctive joins and soft terminals add character at display sizes, while the narrow build keeps longer lines economical.
