A compact slab-serif with low stroke contrast and gently rounded serifs that give the letterforms a softened, stamped impression. Strokes are sturdy and fairly even, with subtly curved joins and slightly swollen terminals that keep the texture from feeling rigid. Counters are moderately open for the width, and the rhythm is steady, producing a consistent, lightly mechanical color across lines. Uppercase forms are tall and contained, while lowercase shows simple, utilitarian construction with small, rounded feet and a straightforward two-storey feel where applicable; figures match the same sturdy, serifed treatment for a cohesive set.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book-cover titling, and vintage-leaning poster work where a typewritten or printed-document flavor is desired. It can also serve packaging, labeling, and short-to-medium text applications that benefit from a compact footprint and a sturdy, legible texture.
The overall tone is typewriter-adjacent and archival, suggesting practical documents, labels, and editorial matter. Rounded slab details add a friendly, approachable warmth, balancing the font’s utilitarian structure with a subtly nostalgic character.
The design appears intended to evoke a practical, document-oriented voice—reminiscent of typewritten or stamped printing—while smoothing the edges through rounded slab details for a more personable, contemporary usability.
The face maintains a controlled, slightly condensed stance with a stable baseline and clear verticals, giving it a neat, organized presence in paragraphs. Small curvature and soft corners help reduce harshness at text sizes, while the slab serifs contribute a recognizable, classic imprint-like silhouette.
