A lightly built serif with a tall, slightly condensed stance and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes stay fairly even, but the outlines feel subtly irregular, as if inked or stamped, giving the letters a soft, human rhythm rather than a strictly geometric finish. Counters are open and rounded, terminals often curl or flatten with small flicks, and several capitals show playful, asymmetrical details. The lowercase is compact with a relatively small x-height and long extenders, while figures are simple, upright, and evenly weighted to match the text color.
This face suits titles, pull quotes, and short passages where a vintage, crafted voice is desirable—such as book covers, café menus, boutique packaging, and cultural posters. It can also work in editorial settings for section heads or captions where personality is welcome without sacrificing basic readability.
The overall tone reads nostalgic and literary, with a typewriter-like dryness softened by hand-made quirks. It feels approachable and characterful—more storybook and eccentric than formal—suggesting analog craft and mid‑century ephemera.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with an intentionally imperfect, hand-rendered finish, creating a typewriter-adjacent display text face that feels archival and expressive rather than purely utilitarian.
In running text the texture is airy and a bit bouncy, with noticeable individuality in certain capitals and in the curvature of bowls and shoulders. The spacing appears comfortable for display and short text, while the distinctive shapes keep attention on the letterforms.
