A slab-serif with soft, rounded terminals and sturdy bracketed feet that evoke typewriter construction without feeling rigid. Strokes are largely monoline with low contrast, and curves are drawn with an even, slightly cushioned geometry. The face has a broad set with ample internal counters and open apertures, producing a clear, steady rhythm in text. Details like the hooked descenders and ball-like terminals on some lowercase forms add a gentle, crafted texture while keeping the overall structure straightforward.
Works well for editorial settings where a relaxed, readable slab serif is desired, such as magazines, essays, and pull quotes. Its friendly sturdiness also suits packaging and branding that want a vintage or handcrafted nod, and it can scale up effectively for headlines, posters, and short display lines where the rounded slab details become a feature.
The overall tone is warm and familiar, combining a classic, document-like credibility with an easygoing friendliness. Its rounded slab details and slightly quirky forms suggest a nostalgic, human touch rather than a purely mechanical feel.
Likely designed to capture the recognizability of typewriter-inspired slabs while smoothing the mechanical edges into a more contemporary, approachable texture. The intention reads as legibility-first with added charm: a practical text face with enough distinctive terminals and figure shapes to give personality in everyday use.
The figures appear oldstyle-leaning with noticeable curves and distinctive shapes, contributing to a lively texture in mixed content. Uppercase forms remain stable and readable, while lowercase introduces more personality through subtle curls and terminals, giving paragraphs an informal but controlled voice.
