A sturdy slab-serif with noticeably rounded corners and softened terminals that give the letterforms a gentle, inked look. Strokes are low-contrast with mostly monoline behavior, and the serifs read as blocky but cushioned rather than sharp. Proportions feel slightly expansive, with generous widths and open counters that keep text readable. The design shows subtle irregularities in rhythm—like a lightly worn impression—while remaining consistent and steady across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
It performs well in editorial typography and general-purpose text where a distinctive but readable slab-serif texture is desired. The softened slabs also make it a strong choice for retro branding, packaging, menus, and posters that want a typewritten or archival flavor without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone is typewriter-adjacent and nostalgic, balancing mechanical structure with warmth. Rounded slabs and soft joins create an approachable, human feel, while the firm stems and clear shapes keep it grounded and workmanlike.
The design appears intended to evoke classic slab-serif and typewriter traditions while modernizing the feel through rounded terminals and comfortable spacing. It aims for a dependable, highly legible texture with a friendly, slightly nostalgic character.
Capitals are bold and authoritative without feeling harsh, and the lowercase maintains a clear, straightforward texture in paragraphs. Numerals match the same softened slab treatment, contributing to a cohesive, slightly vintage voice suited to both display and text settings.
