A tall, condensed slab-serif with a monoline feel and minimal stroke modulation. Serifs are square and sturdy, giving the glyphs a firm baseline and a slightly mechanical rhythm, while the narrow proportions keep counters tight and verticals prominent. Curves are compact and controlled, with rounded joins in places and clean terminals throughout; the overall texture reads even and compact in text. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction and maintain consistent weight and spacing for orderly alignment.
Well-suited to headlines and short blocks where a condensed footprint is useful and a vintage tone is desired. It can also work for packaging, labels, and editorial display applications that benefit from typewriter-like sturdiness without heavy contrast. For longer passages, it performs best when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing to offset the tight proportions.
The font balances utilitarian typewriter associations with a light, quirky personality. Its narrow stance and crisp slabs suggest archival or editorial credibility, while the slightly playful shapes add warmth and a hand-set, old-print flavor. The result feels retro and personable rather than strictly industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact slab-serif voice reminiscent of typewriter and early print styles, optimized for narrow set widths while retaining a clear, robust silhouette. It aims to provide a recognizable retro texture with enough personality for display use while staying structurally consistent for text setting.
In running text, the condensed width creates a dense, vertical color that can feel economical and space-saving. The slab serifs stay visually present at small sizes, supporting word shapes and giving lines a consistent cadence.
