A monoline serif design with pronounced slab-like feet and softened, rounded corners throughout. Strokes keep a low-contrast, even rhythm, with subtly flared joins and bulbous terminals that give the serifs a cushioned look rather than sharp brackets. Counters are open and circular, and many curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) feel slightly squarish-oval, reinforcing a sturdy, utilitarian texture. The lowercase maintains clear, compact forms with simple, upright construction and a consistent baseline presence, producing a steady, readable color in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book or long-form text, and UI or document-like layouts where a typewriter-leaning voice is desired without harshness. It also works effectively for branding and packaging that benefit from a nostalgic, handcrafted-meets-industrial impression, and for posters or pull quotes where its rounded slabs can carry personality at larger sizes.
The overall tone is warmly mechanical: it suggests classic typewritten imprint and mid-century office ephemera, but with a softer, more inviting finish. Rounded slabs and even stroke weight make it feel friendly and familiar rather than formal or high-contrast. It reads as dependable and casual, with a gentle retro character.
The font appears designed to capture a typewriter-inspired slab serif texture while smoothing the usual hard edges into rounded, approachable forms. Its even stroke weight and sturdy serifs prioritize consistent rhythm and readability, aiming for a practical text face with a distinct retro voice.
The design’s soft slab serifs and rounded terminals create a distinctive ‘inked’ silhouette that stays legible at text sizes while remaining characterful in headlines. Numerals and capitals match the same blunt, sturdy modeling, helping mixed-case settings look cohesive and consistent.
