A light, narrow serif with slab-like feet and gently rounded, bracketed joins that soften the overall texture. Strokes stay fairly even with minimal contrast, while terminals and serifs read as slightly bulbous and rounded rather than sharply cut. The lowercase shows open apertures and a straightforward, readable skeleton; the bowl shapes are compact and the rhythm is steady, with subtly irregular, typewriter-like details. Numerals are simple and legible, with a single-story “1” and rounded curves that match the letterforms.
Works well for editorial typography, book interiors, long-form reading, and magazine text where a typewriter-inspired serif feel is desired without sacrificing clarity. It also suits pull quotes, captions, and packaging or café-style collateral that benefits from a warm, vintage voice.
The font conveys a warm, retro typewritten character—practical and readable, but with enough softness to feel approachable rather than rigid. Its slightly quirky, imperfect details give it a human, analog tone suited to narrative or editorial voices.
Likely intended to evoke a typewriter and mid-century print sensibility through slab-like serifs, rounded terminals, and modest contrast, while maintaining a clean, readable structure for continuous text.
Capitals have a restrained, classic presence with sturdy slab serifs, while the lowercase carries more of the casual personality through rounded terminals and gently curved joins. The overall color on the page is light and airy, keeping longer text from feeling heavy while still retaining a distinct serif texture.
