A compact slab-serif with soft, rounded serifs and terminals that give the strokes a cushioned, stamped look. The forms are narrow and economical, with low contrast and slightly irregular curves that create a lively rhythm rather than a rigid, geometric feel. Rounded joins and occasional ball-like terminals (notably in several lowercase shapes) add warmth, while the punctuation and figures match the same sturdy, tactile construction. Overall spacing feels tight and efficient, with a textured, inked impression at text sizes.
Works well for editorial typography where a compact serif with personality is desired—magazine sidebars, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages. The narrow build makes it useful for packaging, labels, and posters where space is limited but a strong vintage voice is needed. It can also serve in branding systems that want an analog, stamped, or stationery-inspired tone.
The tone reads as vintage and typewriter-adjacent, but with a more playful, handmade friendliness than a strict monospaced machine face. It suggests analog printing, stationery, and retro editorial work—earnest, approachable, and a bit quirky.
Likely designed to evoke typewritten or letterpress-era texture while keeping letterforms sturdy and readable. The rounded slab detailing and low-contrast structure aim to deliver a distinctive, friendly voice that remains practical in dense settings.
Uppercase letters maintain a strong, poster-ready presence, while the lowercase introduces more character through rounder bowls and more animated terminals, which increases the sense of texture in continuous text. Numerals follow the same narrow, sturdy proportions and look suited to running text and captions rather than purely tabular settings.
