A monoline slab-serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs softened by rounded corners and gentle curves. Strokes stay even throughout, with compact joins and a slightly squarish, utilitarian construction that keeps counters clear and forms stable. The lowercase is straightforward and readable, with single-storey shapes where expected and simple, unembellished details; punctuation and figures follow the same blunt, functional rhythm. Overall spacing feels even and comfortable, favoring clarity over tight density.
It works well for readable paragraphs, captions, and interface copy where a steady, no-nonsense texture is desired. The slab serifs give it enough character for packaging and brand systems that want a practical, slightly vintage feel without becoming decorative, and it can also support signage and headings at larger sizes.
The tone is reminiscent of mid-century office and typewriter-era printing: plainspoken, dependable, and lightly nostalgic. Rounded edges and generous counters add a friendly, approachable warmth, keeping the texture from feeling harsh or overly mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver robust everyday readability with a subtle typewriter-inspired personality. Its even stroke weight, softened slabs, and open shapes suggest a focus on dependable performance in continuous text while still offering a recognizable, workmanlike flavor.
In text, the font maintains a consistent color and steady cadence, with slab terminals lending a firm baseline presence. The numerals are clear and pragmatic, matching the letterforms’ straightforward geometry and reinforcing the utilitarian voice.
