A light, low-contrast slab serif with softly rounded terminals and bracketed, typewriter-like serifs. The forms are upright and steady, with moderately open apertures and a clear, even rhythm across text. Curves are smooth and slightly softened, while horizontals and verticals keep a consistent stroke weight. Spacing reads generous and regular, supporting legibility in longer lines without feeling rigid.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book or long-form reading, and informational typography where a calm, even texture is desired. It also works effectively for captions, labels, and UI-style copy that benefits from typewriter-inspired clarity, and for branding that wants a subtle retro or analog sensibility without heavy styling.
The overall tone feels quietly vintage and practical, evoking the matter-of-fact clarity of typed documents while staying approachable due to its rounded detailing. It balances neutrality with a subtle warmth, making it feel familiar and unpretentious.
The design appears intended to deliver dependable readability with a typewriter-derived voice, softened by rounded slab details to feel less mechanical. It aims for an even, workmanlike text color while preserving enough character to be recognizable in headlines and short passages.
Capitals have a straightforward, classical structure, while the lowercase maintains a clear, readable texture with distinct shapes (notably the single-storey-style simplicity in several forms and the soft, ball-like terminals in places). Numerals match the text color well and keep the same rounded slab cues, helping mixed alphanumeric settings look consistent.
