A monoline serif with chunky, softened slab-like terminals and gently rounded corners throughout. Strokes keep a consistent thickness, while counters are open and slightly irregular, giving the forms a lightly handmade rhythm. Uppercase proportions are steady and readable, and the lowercase shows simple, typelike constructions with modest extenders; overall spacing feels a touch loose, reinforcing the casual texture. Numerals are clear and sturdy, matching the same rounded, sturdy serif treatment.
Works well where you want readable copy with personality—packaging, café/retail branding, posters, and editorial headings or pull quotes. It can also serve short passages of body text when a warm, nostalgic voice is desired rather than a strictly neutral texture.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a nostalgic, typewriter-adjacent charm. Its softened slabs and subtle irregularities keep it from feeling formal, leaning instead toward playful, human, and slightly rustic.
Designed to blend sturdy slab-serif structure with softened, rounded finishing, aiming for a dependable reading experience that still feels informal and characterful. The consistent stroke weight and slightly quirky shapes suggest an emphasis on friendly display and text use with a retro, typewritten sensibility.
The serif treatment is prominent but not sharp; terminals appear blunted and rounded, which reduces contrast and adds softness at text sizes. The sample paragraph shows consistent color and an even baseline, while the slight quirks in curves and joins add character without sacrificing legibility.
