A sturdy slab-serif with rounded terminals and softened corners that give the strokes a cushioned, inked look. Strokes stay fairly even, while the serifs read as blunt, rounded slabs with gentle bracketing, producing a calm, mechanical rhythm. The letterforms are compact and pragmatic with open counters and clear apertures, and several shapes show slight notches/ink-trap-like cut-ins at joins that add texture without reducing clarity. Numerals are simple and robust, matching the same rounded, sturdy construction.
Well suited for editorial layouts, book or magazine typography, and brand systems that want a dependable serif with a friendly edge. It can also work effectively in packaging, menus, and signage where sturdy letterforms and clear shapes need to hold up at a range of sizes.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and utilitarian, but the rounded slabs make it warmer and more personable than a strictly industrial serif. It suggests a retro, down-to-earth voice—confident and readable, with a subtle quirky charm.
The design appears aimed at blending the practicality of a slab serif with softened, rounded details to create an inviting, contemporary-retro workhorse. It prioritizes steady rhythm and legibility while adding character through rounded slabs and subtly textured joins.
The texture is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating an even typographic color in paragraphs. The softened terminals help reduce sharpness at display sizes, while the sturdy serif treatment maintains authority and legibility in running text.
