A tall, condensed serif with monoline strokes and compact letterfit. The serifs read as small slab-like nubs with rounded corners, giving the outlines a softened, inked feel rather than crisp chiseling. Curves are narrow and vertical stress is understated, while joins and terminals stay gentle and slightly bulbous. Overall rhythm is even and tidy, with a lightly mechanical structure and subtle irregularities that keep it from feeling rigid.
Works well in short-to-medium body text where a compact footprint is helpful, such as editorial layouts, captions, and sidebars. The distinctive narrow texture also suits book covers, posters, menus, and branding systems that want a retro, typewritten flavor without heavy contrast.
The font conveys a vintage, typewriter-adjacent tone—orderly and readable, yet a little whimsical. Its rounded slabs and narrow silhouettes make it feel friendly and slightly nostalgic, well suited to understated character rather than formal authority.
Likely designed to evoke a condensed, typewriter-inspired reading experience with softened slab details for warmth. The goal appears to be efficient vertical texture and consistent, economical spacing while keeping a personable, slightly quirky voice.
Capitals are notably tall and slender, and the numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction for consistent texture in mixed text. In paragraph settings the tight proportions create a vertical, column-like color that emphasizes economy and a classic printed feel.
