A softly rounded slab-serif with low stroke contrast and gently blunted terminals that give the letterforms a cushioned, inked-in feel. The serifs are short and sturdy, and many joins and corners are subtly rounded rather than sharp, producing an even, relaxed texture in text. Proportions lean traditional with moderate ascenders and descenders, open counters, and straightforward, upright construction; the figures and capitals read clearly while retaining a lightly irregular, hand-set rhythm.
Works well for editorial copy, book or zine typography, and literary titling where a classic serif structure with a friendlier edge is desired. It also suits packaging and branding that aims for a handcrafted or vintage impression while keeping good readability in short-to-medium text blocks.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and personable, with a quiet vintage character rather than a rigid mechanical one. Its rounded edges and slightly softened details lend an approachable, informal voice that suits narrative and editorial settings where warmth matters.
Likely designed to blend the familiar readability of a slab serif with rounded, softened detailing to evoke a typewriter or printed-page feel. The intent appears to be a versatile, approachable serif that delivers character through gentle irregularity and robust serifs without relying on high contrast or ornate features.
In the sample text, the face maintains steady color across lines, with consistent spacing and clear differentiation between similar forms (notably in capitals and numerals). The rounded slab treatment remains visible at both display and text sizes, adding texture without becoming overly decorative.
