A compact slab-serif with low stroke contrast and a steady, typewriter-like rhythm. Stems and crossbars are generally monoline, ending in sturdy slab serifs that are subtly bracketed and softened at the corners, giving the face a rounded, inked impression rather than sharp mechanical edges. Counters are open and slightly squarish, with generous internal space for the size, and the proportions feel tight and economical, especially in the uppercase. Numerals and lowercase share the same robust, slightly condensed texture, producing an even, dark typographic color in blocks of text.
Works well for short-to-medium body copy where a sturdy slab texture supports readability, and for headings that benefit from a typewriter-inspired voice. It’s also well suited to packaging, labels, and signage where a compact, confident serif can hold up in dense layouts while still feeling personable.
The overall tone reads as practical and approachable: utilitarian like a typewriter, but softened and friendlier due to rounded terminals and gentle serif shaping. It carries a mild retro/bookish character that suggests editorial authenticity and everyday communication rather than high-formality.
The design appears intended to blend typewriter utility with a softened, contemporary friendliness—delivering a compact slab-serif that prints with a consistent, confident texture and a subtly nostalgic tone.
In text, the strong slabs create clear word shapes and a consistent baseline presence, while the rounded details keep the heavy terminals from feeling overly rigid. The design maintains clarity at display sizes, with a distinctive, slightly mechanical cadence that remains warm.
