A slab serif with near-monoline strokes and compact, bracketed serifs that read as sturdy but not heavy. Terminals are softly rounded with subtle flare and slight irregularity, giving an inked, mechanical-impression feel rather than a razor-clean digital finish. Counters are open and proportions are generous, with a steady, readable rhythm in text; joins and shoulders are smooth, and the overall geometry leans toward simple, practical forms. Numerals are clear and traditional in structure, matching the same slabbed, gently softened detailing as the letters.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and other reading-focused settings where a steady serif texture is desired. The typewriter-leaning flavor also works for packaging, labels, and signage that benefits from a vintage, utilitarian character while remaining legible at moderate sizes.
The tone is classic and workmanlike, evoking typewriter and mid-century print textures while staying orderly and dependable. Its softened edges and slightly imperfect impression add warmth and a touch of nostalgia without becoming overtly decorative.
Likely designed to provide a dependable slab serif voice with a typewritten warmth—combining sturdy serifs and even stroke weight with softened details to keep pages approachable and human.
Uppercase forms are straightforward and stable, while lowercase shows friendly roundness and consistent serif treatment that helps maintain texture across long passages. The font keeps strong baseline presence and clear word shapes, making it feel comfortable for continuous reading and understated display.
