A compact, monoline slab-serif with rounded, softened terminals and prominent bracket-less serifs that often read as small “feet” or ball-ended strokes. Stems maintain an even weight with low contrast, while curves are generous and slightly squarish, giving letters a sturdy, engineered rhythm. Proportions are tight and economical, with relatively narrow letterforms and firm verticals; counters stay open enough for clarity, and joins are smooth rather than sharp. Numerals and punctuation follow the same rounded, sturdy construction for a consistent texture in text.
Works well for editorial headings, pull quotes, and short-to-medium text where a classic, typewriter-adjacent texture is desired. Its sturdy slabs and rounded terminals also suit packaging, café or retail signage, and branding systems aiming for a retro-yet-friendly tone.
The overall tone blends vintage typewriter familiarity with a warm, personable softness. Its rounded details temper the mechanical slab structure, producing a friendly, slightly nostalgic voice that still feels practical and readable.
Likely intended to evoke typewriter and mid-century slab-serif cues while improving approachability through rounded terminals and softened corners. The design prioritizes consistent texture, dependable readability, and a distinctive, characterful voice without relying on high contrast.
Stroke endings are consistently rounded, which reduces harshness and helps the font maintain an even color across lines. The design leans on strong verticals and stable baselines, creating a steady, utilitarian cadence that suits both short display lines and continuous reading at moderate sizes.
