A compact serif with slab-like, softly rounded terminals and low stroke contrast. Strokes stay fairly even and slightly irregular in a way that reads as inked or lightly distressed rather than strictly geometric. The serifs are blunt and cushioned, with gentle curves at joins and corners that keep the texture friendly. Overall proportions are on the tight side, with sturdy verticals, open counters, and a lively, slightly uneven rhythm that suggests a mechanical-print origin with human warmth.
Well-suited to editorial display, book covers, packaging, and posters where a warm, printed feel is desirable. It can also work for pull quotes, menus, and branding systems that want a typewriter-adjacent voice with better polish than a true mono typewriter face, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is approachable and nostalgic, evoking typewriter pages, small-press printing, and handmade ephemera. Its rounded finishing and mild roughness add charm and informality, making the voice feel personable rather than corporate or austere.
The design appears intended to blend classic slab-serif sturdiness with rounded terminals and a lightly imperfect, printed texture—aiming for legibility while delivering a nostalgic, humanized character for display-forward typography.
Numerals and capitals maintain the same softened slab treatment, giving headings and short lines a consistent, characterful texture. The punctuation and mixed-case sample show a steady baseline and clear letter separation, while the subtle irregularities add personality without becoming overly decorative.
