A compact serif design with sturdy slab-like serifs that end in softened, rounded terminals. Strokes keep an even, monoline feel, while subtle swelling at joins and the bulbous serif tips create a lively, inked rhythm. Counters are generally small and upright, with tall ascenders and descenders that add verticality; the lowercase feels compact, emphasizing the short body height against the long extenders. Overall spacing reads steady and measured, producing a tidy texture despite the narrow proportions.
Works well for short-to-medium text settings where a compact, vintage voice is desirable, such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, packaging, and poster typography. It can also suit book covers and editorial display applications where a typewritten or press-printed flavor supports the concept.
The face conveys a classic, typewriter-adjacent nostalgia with a slightly playful, handmade edge. Its rounded slab details soften the tone, making it feel approachable and a bit eccentric rather than strictly mechanical. The overall impression is literary and editorial—ideal for designs that want “printed” character without heavy ornament.
The design appears intended to blend slab-serif sturdiness with rounded, ink-friendly terminals to evoke retro print and typewriter cues while staying readable and orderly. Its compact proportions and consistent stroke weight suggest a focus on fitting text efficiently while maintaining a distinctive, characterful texture.
Capitals are simple and sturdy with minimal contrast, while numerals and punctuation share the same rounded, bracketing-like terminal behavior for consistency. The narrow build and pronounced extenders make line breaks and leading choices especially important to keep paragraphs from feeling tall or cramped.
