A compact, monoline serif with sturdy slab-like feet and softly rounded terminals. Strokes keep an even weight with gentle curvature at joins, giving counters a slightly pinched, inked-in feel. Proportions are narrow overall with a short x-height and relatively tall ascenders, while widths vary by glyph, creating an organic rhythm. The detailing shows small bracketing into the serifs and subtly irregular, humanist shaping rather than rigid geometry.
It suits editorial typography, longer-form reading, and book or magazine settings where a compact serif with personality is desirable. The friendly slab detailing also works well for packaging, labels, and identity systems that want a vintage or typewritten flavor without looking distressed.
The font reads as warm and approachable while still traditional, with a distinct typewriter-and-book vibe. Its rounded edges and steady stroke weight soften the tone, making it feel nostalgic and slightly handmade rather than purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to blend the reliability of a traditional serif with softened, rounded finishing and a slightly typewriter-like cadence. Its compact proportions and even color suggest a focus on readable text sizes while preserving a distinctive, nostalgic character.
The uppercase has a clear, classic presence (not overly wide), and the lowercase emphasizes personality in letters like a, g, e, and y through rounded bowls and hooked terminals. Numerals are straightforward and legible, matching the same soft, slabby finishing seen across the alphabet.
