A soft slab-serif with rounded, blunted terminals and sturdy serifs that read as gently bracketed and slightly swollen at the ends. Strokes are largely monoline with minimal contrast, and curves are full and open, giving counters a generous, readable shape. The letterforms show subtle irregularities and typewriter-like quirks—such as a slightly playful “g,” a looped “2,” and a curved-tailed “Q”—that add warmth without looking messy. Spacing and proportions feel workmanlike and steady, with an even rhythm across text and clear differentiation in figures and capitals.
Well-suited to editorial blurbs, pull quotes, short-to-medium passages, and headings where a typewriter-inspired personality is welcome. It also fits packaging, café/retail branding, and posters that benefit from a friendly vintage tone while maintaining solid readability.
The overall tone is warm, nostalgic, and personable—evoking typewritten notes, craft packaging, and casual editorial. Its rounded slabs keep it from feeling severe, while the small idiosyncrasies add charm and a human, slightly retro voice.
The design appears intended to blend typewriter nostalgia with a softened slab-serif structure, prioritizing approachability and a handcrafted feel while keeping the letterforms robust and clear for practical text setting.
In running text, the dark serifs and softened corners create a consistent texture that stays legible while still signaling “character.” Numerals and punctuation match the same rounded, slightly quirky construction, helping mixed content feel cohesive.
