A compact serif with slab-like feet and softly rounded terminals, giving the letterforms a gentle, cushioned silhouette. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with minimal contrast and a steady vertical stress, while curves are slightly irregular in a way that suggests inky impressions rather than geometric precision. The proportions are condensed with tight internal counters, and the serifs are short, blunt, and consistently rounded, helping maintain a uniform rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
This font suits short-to-medium copy where a nostalgic, tactile texture is desirable—such as packaging, café menus, event posters, and editorial headlines. It can also work in branding and book covers when you want a sturdy serif presence without a sharp or high-contrast look.
The overall tone feels warm and approachable, with a clear nod to typewriter and stamped printing aesthetics. Its slight wobble and softened slabs read as casual and human, making the voice more conversational than formal.
The design appears intended to blend the solidity of slab serifs with rounded, softened terminals to evoke printed, slightly imperfect letterpress or typewriter output. The aim is legibility with personality: compact, practical shapes that still feel hand-touched and charming in display and larger text.
Distinctive details include a sharply hooked ‘J’, a ‘Q’ with a prominent descending tail, and lowercase forms that keep a sturdy, workmanlike structure while retaining soft ends. Numerals match the text weight and carry the same rounded slab finishing, supporting cohesive mixed text and number settings.
