A condensed slab-serif with a tall, narrow build and near-uniform stroke weight. The serifs are small but assertive and mostly square, giving terminals a stamped, mechanical finish. Curves are tight and slightly squarish, with restrained apertures and compact counters that keep the texture dense. Capitals are slender and upright, while the lowercase maintains clear, straightforward forms that read cleanly in continuous text.
Well-suited to space-conscious text settings such as book interiors, magazine copy, and long captions where a condensed footprint is helpful. It also works effectively for labels, forms, and packaging copy that benefits from a structured, utilitarian slab-serif presence.
The overall tone is typewriter-adjacent and archival, with a pragmatic, no-nonsense voice. Its narrow proportions and crisp slab terminals evoke printed labels, forms, and mid-century editorial setting, balancing seriousness with a lightly nostalgic mechanical charm.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, legible slab-serif voice with a mechanical, printed feel, optimizing for dense text and information-heavy layouts while retaining a distinctive, vintage-leaning personality.
Spacing appears economical, producing a compact rhythm and an even typographic color in paragraphs. Numerals are similarly narrow and simple, aligning with the font’s functional, text-forward character.
