A compact slab-serif with a typewriter-like skeleton and consistent stroke weight, finished with rounded, bracketed serifs and softened terminals. The letterforms are relatively narrow with steady, mechanical rhythm, while curves are generously rounded to keep the texture from feeling harsh. Counters are open and straightforward, and the punctuation and figures follow the same sturdy, slightly cushioned construction for a uniform color in text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book or magazine text, and pull quotes where a typewriter-inspired voice is desired without sacrificing steadiness. It can also work effectively on packaging and labels for a retro or handcrafted feel, and in posters or signage where the rounded slabs provide strong letter presence.
The overall tone reads vintage and utilitarian, like a softened take on classic office/typewriter typography. Rounded slab details add warmth and approachability, balancing the mechanical structure with a friendly, retro character.
The design appears intended to evoke classic slab/typewriter conventions while softening the feel through rounded serifs and terminals. It aims for dependable readability and a consistent typographic color, delivering a pragmatic voice with a touch of nostalgic charm.
