A compact slab serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and mostly even stroke weight. The outlines are subtly irregular, with softened corners and small ink-trap-like notches that create a lightly worn, printed texture. Curves are generous and slightly squarish in places, and the rhythm is tight with short extenders and compact counters, giving the face a condensed, economical feel while remaining readable in text.
It suits editorial layouts, book or zine covers, and packaging that wants a classic slab-serif voice with a touch of grit. The compact proportions make it useful for headlines and subheads where space is limited, and it can also work for short-to-medium text settings when a textured, printlike color is desired.
The overall tone is typewriter-adjacent and old-print, with a friendly, slightly quirky personality. Its gentle roughness and sturdy serifs evoke editorial clippings, vintage stationery, and small-press printing rather than polished corporate minimalism.
The design appears intended to combine robust slab-serif structure with a subtly imperfect, inked finish, capturing a vintage print/typewriter flavor while keeping forms consistent enough for continuous reading.
The numerals follow the same sturdy, compact construction as the letters, and the punctuation and apostrophe shapes reinforce the lightly distressed, inked impression. In longer lines, the texture becomes a consistent grain that reads as intentional character rather than noise.
