A monoline slab serif with a gently right-leaning, reverse-italic stance and softly rounded terminals. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness, with sturdy bracketed slab serifs and subtle flaring that gives the joins a slightly inky, stamped texture. Counters are open and generously sized, and the overall rhythm feels steady while letter widths vary enough to keep word shapes lively. Numerals are straightforward and sturdy, matching the text weight and maintaining clear forms at reading sizes.
Works well for editorial and book settings where a sturdy slab serif can carry long passages with character, and it also scales nicely for headlines that benefit from a typewriter-like presence. It suits posters and brand applications seeking a warm, slightly offbeat vintage voice while remaining legible.
The face reads as typewriter-adjacent and retro without being overly distressed, combining utilitarian clarity with a warm, slightly quirky personality. Its reverse-lean and rounded slabs add a personable, conversational tone that feels literary and editorial rather than corporate.
Likely intended to modernize a classic slab/typewriter idiom by keeping strokes even and readable while adding a distinctive reverse-italic motion and softened details for personality. The goal appears to be dependable text performance with a memorable, quirky silhouette.
The italic direction (leftward stress with right-leaning forms) and the softened, almost cushiony serifs create a distinctive silhouette in longer text. The design favors clarity and consistency over sharp calligraphic contrast, with just enough irregularity in curvature to feel human and tactile.
