A monoline serif with sturdy, slab-like terminals that are noticeably rounded and softly bracketed, giving the strokes a cushioned, less rigid feel. The design keeps a steady rhythm with simple, workmanlike letterforms, open apertures, and clear counters. Curves are generous (notably in C, G, S, and the numerals), while verticals and horizontals stay even, producing a clean, readable texture in paragraphs. The overall impression is functional and consistent, with slightly softened edges that reduce the mechanical sharpness typical of harder slabs.
This font is well suited to editorial layouts, book or zine interiors, and longer passages where a warm, steady serif texture is desired. It can also support branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a retro, typewriter-like voice without looking overly distressed or decorative.
The rounded slabs and even stroke weight create a warm, approachable typewriter-adjacent tone—practical, a bit nostalgic, and unpretentious. It reads as friendly and straightforward rather than formal, with a subtle handcrafted softness that suits casual editorial and everyday communication.
The design appears intended to blend the utilitarian clarity of slab serifs with rounded, softened terminals for a more personable, less severe feel. It aims for dependable readability while projecting a nostalgic, everyday character that works in both display lines and text.
The numerals are clear and plainspoken, matching the letterforms’ sturdy construction and rounded detailing. In text, the spacing and repetition of the slab terminals create a distinct, gently patterned texture that remains comfortable at reading sizes.
