A condensed, monoline slab-serif with tall proportions and a narrow footprint. Strokes stay consistently thin with minimal modulation, while the terminals finish in small, squared slabs that read as unbracketed. Curves are slightly squarish and upright, giving rounded letters a rectilinear feel, and the overall rhythm is airy with generous interior counters. The lowercase shows a high x-height relative to ascenders, supporting compact vertical texture despite the light stroke weight.
Best suited to display sizes where its narrow build and distinctive slab terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book or album covers, packaging, and boutique branding. It can work for short editorial pull quotes or subheads when ample letterspacing and leading are available, but the very fine strokes suggest avoiding small sizes or low-contrast reproduction contexts.
The combination of skinny stems, squared-off curves, and tiny slab endings creates a distinctive, slightly eccentric tone. It feels retro and lightly theatrical—more characterful than utilitarian—while remaining clean enough to read in short passages. The overall impression is whimsical and “offbeat classic,” reminiscent of display faces used for quirky headlines or vintage-inspired settings.
Likely designed to deliver a highly condensed slab-serif look with a light, contemporary crispness and a hint of vintage eccentricity. The consistent thin strokes and squared details prioritize a recognizable silhouette and vertical elegance over neutrality, aiming for characterful display typography that remains orderly and readable.
The design leans on verticality and tight widths, producing a strong columnar texture in words. Rounded forms (like O/C) appear subtly flattened or squared, reinforcing the geometric, engineered personality. Figures follow the same condensed, upright logic and maintain a consistent, delicate presence alongside capitals and lowercase.
