A compact serif with sturdy, slab-like terminals that are noticeably rounded and softly bracketed into the stems. Stroke weight stays fairly even, with gentle swelling at joins and a slightly bouncy, hand-set rhythm that keeps the texture lively rather than rigid. Capitals are narrow and upright with modest contrast, while lowercase forms are compact with short extenders and rounded, slightly bulbous terminals. Curves (C, G, S, O) are smooth and open, and numerals follow the same narrow, sturdy construction with clear, simple counters.
Well-suited for posters, book covers, packaging, and branding that want a retro or typewriter-flavored voice without looking harsh. It can also work for editorial headlines and short passages where its compact proportions and lively serif rhythm add personality while remaining readable.
The overall tone is typewriter-adjacent and nostalgic, but softened by rounded slabs and amiable curves. It reads as approachable and a bit quirky—more charming and literary than strictly utilitarian—making it feel at home in vintage or casual editorial settings.
The font appears designed to blend a classic slab-serif backbone with rounded, softened terminals to create a friendly, vintage-leaning text and display face. Its compact proportions and distinctive slab details suggest an aim for characterful readability and a recognizable, nostalgic texture in headlines and labels.
The design favors clarity at display and subhead sizes, with distinctive silhouettes (notably the narrow caps and the rounded slab terminals) that give words a recognizable cadence. Spacing appears moderately open for such a compact design, helping counters stay legible even with the heavier terminals.
