A monoline slab-serif with softened, rounded serifs and subtly uneven contours that mimic inked or stamped letterforms. Strokes stay largely uniform, with gentle swelling at joins and terminals that feel slightly blunted rather than crisp. The proportions are compact and readable, with open counters and a steady baseline, while small irregularities in curve smoothness and serif shapes add a tactile, hand-finished texture. Numerals and capitals keep the same sturdy, slabby footing, supporting a consistent rhythm across mixed-case text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book or booklet typography, and long-form passages where a vintage, printed feel is desired. It also works nicely for packaging, café/retail branding, and posters that benefit from a warm, slightly rustic texture. For best results, give it adequate size or leading so the textured edges don’t visually crowd at small settings.
The overall tone is nostalgic and human, evoking typewriter pages, bookish ephemera, and handmade print. Its friendly roughness and soft corners keep it approachable rather than formal, lending a casual, storytelling character. The slight wobble and inked feel introduce charm and personality without pushing into novelty.
The design appears intended to blend the sturdy structure of a slab serif with the charm of imperfect, inked production. It aims for dependable readability while adding a subtle handcrafted patina that suggests analog printing and everyday ephemera.
In running text, the font maintains clear word shapes and comfortable spacing, with distinctive slab terminals that help guide the eye across lines. The texture becomes more apparent at larger sizes, where the organic edges and rounded serif details read as intentional character.
