A wiry slab-serif with softly bracketed, squared serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with gentle curvature and slightly irregular, hand-drawn-feeling joins that keep the rhythm lively without becoming chaotic. Counters are open and the overall color stays light and breathable, while small details—like subtly flared ends and rounded corners—add texture in both caps and lowercase.
Works well for editorial headlines, book-cover titling, and brand identities that want a vintage or typewritten flavor without heavy inked weight. It can also support short-to-medium text passages where a light, textured slab serif adds personality, and it suits posters or packaging that benefit from a handcrafted, literary tone.
The tone reads bookish and typewriter-adjacent, with a slightly whimsical, handcrafted edge. It feels nostalgic and informal rather than corporate, suggesting editorial charm and a personable voice.
Likely designed to capture a classic typewriter/letterpress impression in a light slab-serif build, prioritizing charm and readability through open counters, simple construction, and soft, bracketed serifs.
Caps are tall and clean, while the lowercase brings more character through varied bowls and modest idiosyncrasies in terminals. Numerals match the light, narrow construction and maintain the same soft slab cues, giving mixed text a consistent, gently textured surface.
