A condensed, monoline serif with softened slab-like serifs and gently rounded terminals. Strokes stay even throughout, with subtle bracketing where stems meet serifs, producing a smooth, ink-friendly texture rather than sharp joins. Proportions are tall and tight, with narrow letterforms and compact counters; curves are clean and slightly squarish, and round letters read more oval than circular. Overall spacing feels measured and consistent, giving lines a tidy, vertical rhythm.
Works well for editorial settings where a condensed serif can add character without heavy contrast, including magazine subheads, pull quotes, and short passages at comfortable sizes. The narrow footprint also suits packaging, labels, and poster headlines where space efficiency matters, while the even stroke and rounded detailing help maintain clarity in captions and UI-like text blocks when not set too small.
The design evokes a nostalgic, typewriter-adjacent tone—orderly and readable, yet lightly whimsical. Its rounded details temper the severity of condensed serifs, creating a friendly, understated vintage character suited to playful but composed typography.
Likely designed to blend classic slab-serif cues with a softer, more approachable finish, delivering a compact display-to-text workhorse that feels vintage and practical. The emphasis appears to be on economy of width, steady rhythm, and a gently idiosyncratic voice rather than strict geometric precision.
Distinctive, compact shapes (notably in the narrow rounds and the slim numerals) reinforce an economical footprint while keeping forms clear. The serif treatment is prominent enough to signal a classic voice, but the softened corners keep it from feeling formal or sharp.
