A slab-serif design with blunt, rectangular serifs and softly rounded corners that give the outlines a slightly worn, inked-in feel. Strokes are fairly even and low in contrast, with broad proportions and generous internal counters, creating a relaxed rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. The lowercase shows a notably tall x-height with compact ascenders and descenders, and the overall drawing includes small irregularities in curves and terminals that read like letterpress or typewriter impression rather than crisp geometric construction.
It works best for attention-grabbing headlines, posters, packaging, and editorial display where a nostalgic or handcrafted tone is desired. The sturdy slab serifs and wide forms also suit short signage and titling, especially when paired with simpler body text.
The font conveys an old-fashioned, analog tone—part typewriter, part vintage print—tempered by friendly, slightly quirky details. Its broad stance and softened edges feel approachable and informal, suggesting utilitarian authenticity rather than strict refinement.
The design appears intended to evoke mechanical printing and mid-century vernacular typography, combining sturdy slab structure with softened, slightly distressed contour behavior to add warmth and personality in display settings.
In the sample text, the large x-height and open counters keep words readable at display sizes, while the uneven edge character becomes more noticeable as size increases. Numerals appear sturdy and wide, matching the heavy, blunt serif language of the letters.
