A sturdy slab-serif with softly rounded corners and terminals, giving the letterforms a cushioned, approachable feel. Strokes are low-contrast and largely consistent, with broad, blunt serifs that read clearly at text sizes. The proportions are pragmatic and slightly compact in the counters, with a steady, even rhythm across lines. Numerals and lowercase share the same rounded slab vocabulary, producing a cohesive, utilitarian texture in paragraphs.
Works well for extended reading in editorial layouts, catalogs, and instructional text where a firm serif presence aids navigation. Its rounded slabs also suit branding and packaging that want a vintage, crafted sensibility, and it can scale up for headlines that benefit from a bold, sturdy silhouette without harsh edges.
The overall tone is typewriter-adjacent and retro, but softened by rounded finishing details that make it feel more friendly than mechanical. It suggests straightforward communication—clear, dependable, and a bit nostalgic—without becoming overly formal.
The design appears intended to blend the dependable structure of a slab serif with rounded, inviting terminals, delivering a practical text face that also carries a nostalgic, typewriter-like character.
Round join behavior and softened corners reduce sharpness throughout, helping dense text feel less rigid. The design’s strong baseline presence and consistent serif shapes create a stable, anchored look in running copy.
