A sturdy slab-serif with rounded, soft-edged terminals and a largely even stroke presence. Serifs are prominent and blunt, reading more like cushioned blocks than sharp brackets, which gives the outlines a gentle, engineered feel. Letterforms are generously proportioned with open counters and clear interior space; curves are smooth and slightly bulbous, while joins and corners are consistently softened. The overall rhythm is steady and readable, with a subtly mechanical structure that remains warm due to the rounded detailing.
Well-suited to editorial headlines and subheads where a classic, readable slab voice is needed without sharpness. It also fits packaging, café/retail branding, menus, and poster work that benefits from a nostalgic, typewriter-adjacent texture. The sturdy shapes and open counters make it dependable for short paragraphs, callouts, and labeling.
The tone blends vintage typewriter practicality with an inviting, personable voice. Its soft slabs and rounded corners reduce severity, making it feel friendly and informal while still dependable and workmanlike. The result is a nostalgic, editorial character that suggests everyday documents, labels, and straightforward messaging.
The design appears intended to capture the dependable structure of a traditional slab serif while softening it for a more contemporary, approachable presence. By pairing strong slabs with rounded terminals and consistent, steady rhythm, it aims for clarity and charm in equal measure.
Uppercase forms show strong baseline anchoring from the wide slabs, while lowercase retains clear differentiation (notably in the single-storey shapes and rounded terminals). Numerals are bold and highly legible, with simple constructions that suit repeated reading at text and display sizes.
