A low-contrast slab serif with rounded, softened terminals and gently bracketed slab-like feet. Strokes maintain an even, monoline feel, while curves and joins stay smooth and slightly bulbous, giving the letterforms a pliant, ink-on-paper character. Proportions are straightforward and readable, with open counters, a modest x-height, and a rhythm that feels a touch irregular in a way that evokes mechanical/typed text rather than rigid textbook geometry. Numerals and capitals follow the same softened slab logic, keeping the texture consistent across mixed settings.
Works well for readable body copy and editorial layouts where a typewriter-inflected slab serif texture is desired without harshness. It also suits packaging, café menus, posters, and branding systems that benefit from a friendly retro voice and consistent color across mixed-case text and numerals.
The overall tone is warm and unpretentious, combining a typewriter-like familiarity with a softer, more personable edge. It reads as nostalgic and everyday-functional rather than formal, with rounded details that reduce severity and add charm.
Likely intended to blend the practical legibility of a slab serif with the approachable feel of rounded terminals, capturing a typewriter-adjacent personality that stays clear in continuous reading while adding gentle character in display settings.
The serif treatment is prominent but never sharp: corners are rounded and terminals feel cushioned, which helps maintain clarity at text sizes while preserving a distinctive, slightly quirky texture in longer passages. The design’s gentle irregularity gives it character in headlines without becoming overly decorative.
