A compact slab-serif with a largely even stroke and softened, rounded serif endings that read like gentle “feet” rather than sharp brackets. The curves are smoothly drawn and fairly restrained, while verticals stay steady and consistent, giving the face a clear, workmanlike rhythm. Proportions are tight and efficient, with straightforward, open counters and slightly rounded joins that keep the texture from feeling brittle. Figures and capitals keep the same sturdy, measured build, supporting a consistent, slightly mechanical color on the page.
Well suited to designs seeking a typewritten or archival flavor—book and magazine pull quotes, captions, packaging copy, labels, and signage that benefits from compact width. It can also work effectively for posters and headings where a sturdy slab presence is desired without sharp, aggressive serifs.
The overall tone blends classic typewriter nostalgia with a friendlier, less severe finish thanks to the rounded slab details. It feels dependable and practical, with a subtle vintage character that suggests documentation, labels, or editorial marking rather than luxury. The softness in the terminals adds approachability while preserving a functional, matter-of-fact voice.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional typewriter and utilitarian print forms while smoothing the experience with rounded slab terminals. It prioritizes steady texture, compact economy, and a recognizable vintage-leaning voice that remains readable in practical settings.
In text, the narrow set and steady strokes create a dense, economical line that stays legible at moderate sizes and feels intentionally “typed.” The rounded slab terminals become a signature detail in headings and short bursts, where the sturdy forms and compact spacing read as confident and slightly old-school.
