A light, oblique slab-serif with unbracketed, rectangular serifs and a gently irregular, inked feel. Strokes stay fairly even with modest contrast and slightly softened terminals, producing a crisp yet approachable texture. Proportions are notably expanded, with generous bowls and wide counters; spacing reads open and airy in text. The lowercase shows single‑storey forms (notably the a and g), compact ascenders, and a straightforward, legible construction, while numerals and capitals keep the same broad, steady rhythm.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where a distinctive, vintage slab-serif flavor is desired—such as magazine headlines, book covers, packaging, and brand marks. The wide letterforms and open counters can also work for pull quotes and larger UI/wayfinding moments where character is welcome.
The overall tone suggests a typewriter-adjacent, retro editorial voice—informal but still structured. Its wide stance and slanted posture give it motion and personality, leaning more human and conversational than strictly mechanical.
This design appears intended to blend the sturdiness of slab serifs with a typewriter-like, slightly humanized rhythm, delivering a recognizable editorial voice that stays readable while adding warmth and period character.
Serifs are consistently blocky and squared-off, and many joins and curves appear subtly rounded rather than razor sharp, which helps maintain smooth color across lines. The italic angle is apparent without becoming calligraphic, keeping the style firmly in the slab-serif tradition.
