A soft-edged slab serif with rounded terminals and gently bracketed, bulb-like serifs that give the strokes a cushioned finish. Letterforms are low-contrast and largely even in stroke, with subtly irregular curves and small flares that suggest an inked, mechanical rhythm rather than a strictly geometric construction. Counters are open and the overall texture is airy, with noticeably broad capitals and a relaxed baseline feel in text.
Well-suited to readable text blocks where a gentle typewriter flavor is desired, such as short-form editorial, product descriptions, and publishing interiors. The friendly slab presence also works for packaging, café/retail branding, and posters or signage that benefit from a warm, vintage-leaning voice.
The font reads as typewriter-adjacent and warmly nostalgic, balancing utilitarian structure with a playful, slightly handmade softness. Its rounded slabs and mild wobble keep it approachable and casual, lending a friendly, storybook tone rather than a sharp editorial one.
Likely designed to capture the familiar cadence of slab-serif typewriter forms while smoothing the edges into a more contemporary, rounded, approachable display-text hybrid. The emphasis appears to be on comfortable reading texture paired with distinctive, characterful terminals.
In the sample text, the heavy rounding on joins and terminals keeps dense passages from feeling harsh, while the slab details remain visible at text sizes. Figures share the same soft slab logic, and the overall rhythm favors readability with a characterful, printed imprint.
