A condensed, monoline slab serif with softly rounded terminals and compact proportions. Strokes stay even and steady, with minimal contrast and a crisp, print-like texture. Serifs are short and blunt with rounded corners, and curves (notably in C, O, and S) feel slightly squarish in their turning points, giving the design a disciplined but handmade rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and the verticals read strongly, creating a tall, economical silhouette that packs well in lines of text.
This font works best for headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium passages where a condensed footprint is useful and a vintage editorial flavor is desired. It’s well suited to book jackets, magazine-style layouts, branding systems that want a typewriter-adjacent voice, and packaging that benefits from a compact, sturdy serif.
The overall tone is classic and utilitarian, evoking typewriter and newspaper display traditions while staying friendly due to its rounded detailing. It feels archival and literary, with a subtle offbeat character that can add personality without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a narrow, space-saving slab serif with an approachable, rounded finish—combining utilitarian clarity with a lightly nostalgic, print-era personality.
Spacing appears tight and consistent, producing a dense color on the page that suits short lines and headings. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright logic and maintain a cohesive, old-style print feel within the set.
