A compact slab-serif with sturdy, mostly monoline strokes and heavily bracketed serifs that read as soft, rounded blocks. Curves are generously rounded and slightly irregular in a way that suggests ink spread or a lightly printed texture, especially at joins and terminals. Counters are modest and forms are tightly drawn, creating a dense rhythm with clear vertical emphasis and steady baseline behavior. Numerals follow the same sturdy, bracketed construction, with simple, legible shapes and a consistent serif treatment.
Well suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and pull quotes where a classic slab voice is desired. Its compact build and sturdy serifs can also work effectively in posters, labels, and branding systems that aim for vintage practicality and clear readability.
The overall tone is classic and workmanlike, with a nostalgic typewriter/letterpress flavor softened by rounded edges. It feels approachable and slightly rustic rather than sharp or formal, giving text a warm, editorial character. The consistent slab structure adds authority while the softened details keep it friendly.
The font appears intended to evoke traditional slab-serif printing and typewriter-era practicality, combining sturdy construction with softened, ink-like shaping for a friendly, nostalgic texture.
The design relies on strong vertical stems and pronounced slab feet, producing a confident texture in paragraphs and headlines. Rounded brackets and softened corners help maintain legibility at smaller sizes while preserving a distinctive, printed personality.
