A condensed serif with monoline strokes and compact, vertically oriented proportions. The serifs are small and bracketed with a soft, rounded join, and many terminals finish with slight bulb-like swelling that gives the strokes a stamped or cast-metal feel. Curves are narrow and controlled, counters are tight, and overall spacing feels economical, producing a steady, columnar rhythm in text. The lowercase is simple and workmanlike, with single-storey forms where applicable and a utilitarian, lightly imperfect texture that reads as intentionally mechanical rather than calligraphic.
Well-suited to packaging and label design, poster headlines, and editorial pull quotes where a condensed, vintage utility voice is desired. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that benefit from a disciplined, industrial tone and strong vertical rhythm.
The font conveys a vintage utilitarian tone reminiscent of typewriter, ticketing, or industrial marking aesthetics. Its narrow stance and sturdy detailing suggest practicality and constraint, while the subtle rounded serifs add a hint of retro charm.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed serif with a typewriter/industrial flavor: economical in width, sturdy in structure, and slightly softened by bracketed serifs and rounded terminals to keep the texture approachable rather than harsh.
The uppercase presents tall, compressed silhouettes with consistent stem widths, helping headings feel rigid and poster-like. Numerals follow the same narrow construction and maintain a straightforward, readable presence, reinforcing the functional, archival character.
