A monoline serif with slab-like, softly rounded serifs and gently flared terminals. Strokes stay fairly even, while outlines show a subtle hand-inked wobble that keeps the texture lively rather than mechanical. Proportions are traditional and readable, with open bowls and moderate apertures; curves are slightly squarish in places, and joins remain clean without sharp calligraphic modulation. Numerals follow the same sturdy, printed rhythm and sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Works well for editorial layouts, book-style pages, and longer passages where a gentle, classic serif texture is desired. Its typewriter-like character also suits labels, café or craft packaging, and display lines in posters or branding when a warm, analog feel is the goal.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and vintage, with a casual, human touch that suggests printed ephemera rather than polished corporate typography. It reads as friendly and familiar, leaning toward literary and archival associations while staying approachable.
The design appears intended to evoke a traditional printed serif with typewriter-era charm, adding slight organic irregularity for authenticity and texture while keeping letterforms straightforward and readable for everyday typography.
Spacing and rhythm create an even, text-forward color, with small irregularities in stroke edges adding warmth at larger sizes. The capitals have a sturdy presence without looking formal, and the lowercase maintains a steady, unshowy cadence suited to continuous reading.
