A compact serif with slab-like, bracketed terminals and softly rounded corners throughout. Strokes are largely monoline with low apparent contrast, giving the letters an even, stamped rhythm. The design shows a slightly irregular, organic finish—especially at joins and terminals—suggesting a lightly worn print or typewriter impression. Proportions are tight and vertical, with a modest x-height and sturdy, simplified forms that keep counters open despite the narrow build.
Well-suited to display roles where a vintage or typewritten flavor is desirable, such as branding, labels, posters, and book covers. It can also work for short blocks of text or pull quotes when you want a compact, characterful texture, though its tight proportions and modest x-height favor larger sizes for comfort.
The overall tone feels retro and personable, balancing utilitarian typewriter cues with a gentle, playful softness. Its rounded details and subtly imperfect texture read as human and approachable rather than strictly mechanical, lending a casual, storytelling character.
The design appears intended to evoke classic slab/typewriter heritage while softening it with rounded terminals and an intentionally lived-in finish. It aims for a sturdy, legible silhouette with a distinctive, nostalgic voice that stands out in headings and identity work.
Numerals and caps maintain the same firm, slabby end shapes and consistent stroke weight, helping the set feel cohesive. The punctuation and dots appear round and prominent, reinforcing the font’s friendly, slightly handcrafted voice.
