A compact slab-serif with mostly even stroke weight and softened, rounded terminals. Serifs are sturdy and bracketless in feel, with bulb-like rounding at the ends that keeps the texture from looking sharp. Curves are smooth and slightly condensed, and the counters stay fairly open, producing a clear, steady rhythm in text. The numerals and lowercase show simple, utilitarian construction, while the overall proportions remain consistent and tidy across the set.
Well suited to editorial typography where a compact slab serif can carry paragraphs with a consistent, readable color. It can also support headlines and short display lines when a vintage, typewriter-adjacent voice is desired. The sturdy forms make it a good fit for packaging, labels, and posters that benefit from a friendly but dependable presence.
The rounded slabs and restrained contrast create a warm, practical tone with a subtle typewriter and editorial nostalgia. It reads as approachable rather than formal, balancing sturdiness with a gentle, human touch. The texture suggests everyday communication—reliable, familiar, and a bit retro.
The design appears intended to blend the robustness of slab serifs with rounded finishing, creating a practical text face that feels less rigid than traditional slabs. Its compact proportions and even strokes prioritize clarity and consistency while adding a nostalgic, workmanlike character.
In longer passages the font builds a dark, even color, with rounded ends softening the impact of the heavy slabs. The capitals feel solid and slightly emphatic, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, legible cadence suited to continuous reading.
