A condensed, monoline serif with softly bracketed slab-like serifs and rounded terminals that give the strokes a slightly cushioned finish. The proportions are tall and narrow with generous vertical emphasis, while spacing stays even enough to read as disciplined despite a subtly handmade rhythm. Curves are compact and slightly squarish, counters are tight, and joins remain clean, producing a calm, consistent texture across both capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction with simple, sturdy forms.
It performs well in editorial settings where a compact, vintage-leaning serif can deliver character without heavy contrast—such as pull quotes, subheads, and compact headlines. The narrow build also suits posters, book covers, and branding or packaging where vertical economy and a typewriter-like voice are desirable.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and archival, with a quiet, bookish character. Its softened slabs and slightly irregular warmth keep it from feeling mechanical, lending a friendly vintage voice suited to narrative or editorial atmospheres.
The design appears intended to evoke classic printed and typewritten typography while staying clean and contemporary in construction. Softened slab-like serifs and restrained detailing suggest a goal of approachable personality with dependable readability in compact widths.
Capitals are notably slender and tall, and the face maintains a steady baseline presence without dramatic flourish. The softened, rounded finishing on serifs and terminals helps preserve clarity at smaller sizes while keeping the texture gentle rather than stark.
