A gently irregular slab-serif with mostly even stroke weight and compact, economical proportions. Serifs are short and softly bracketed, giving corners a rounded, inked-in feel rather than sharp mechanics. Curves are slightly squarish in places, with open apertures and steady rhythm in text, while small asymmetries and tapered joins add a human, lightly drawn character. Numerals and capitals keep a straightforward structure, with subtle flare and softened terminals that read cleanly at paragraph sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a steady texture and clear letterforms matter. It can also work for pull quotes, captions, and packaging or branding that wants a modest, print-referential voice without heavy ornament.
The overall tone is typewriter-adjacent and editorial, evoking printed pages, notes, and utilitarian lettering with a touch of warmth. Its small quirks and softened slabs keep it from feeling sterile, lending a calm, literary atmosphere that can also feel lightly nostalgic.
The design appears intended to blend the dependability of slab serifs with a subtly human, ink-on-paper finish. It prioritizes readability and a consistent text color while adding just enough idiosyncrasy to feel personable and distinctive in editorial use.
Spacing appears comfortable and consistent for continuous reading, and the slab details remain visible without dominating the letterforms. The mix of sturdy slabs and softly modeled curves creates a balanced texture that feels practical but not rigid.
