A compact slab-serif with a monoline, low-contrast build and gently rounded terminals. Stems stay fairly even while the serifs read as sturdy, softened blocks rather than sharp wedges, giving the outlines a cushioned feel. Proportions are tight and space-efficient, with small, open counters and a consistent rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The texture is orderly and mechanical, but the rounded finishing prevents it from feeling harsh.
Works well for editorial text, short paragraphs, captions, and compact UI or print settings where a firm, legible texture is needed. Its friendly slabs also suit packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a reliable, slightly vintage voice.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and practical, with a calm, straightforward presence. Rounded slabs add warmth and approachability, lending a mildly nostalgic, editorial flavor without becoming decorative.
Likely designed to capture the dependable clarity of slab-serif typography with a softened, rounded finish for a more personable reading experience. The compact proportions and consistent stroke behavior suggest an emphasis on economy of space and steady text color.
The forms show subtle ink-trap-like softening at joins and ends, which helps maintain clarity at text sizes while keeping a uniform color. Numerals follow the same compact, sturdy logic, matching the alphabet’s steady cadence.
