A condensed, monoline serif with rounded slab-like terminals that read as soft “caps” at the ends of strokes. The forms are upright and fairly linear, with narrow proportions and a tight rhythm that keeps words compact. Curves are slightly bulbous and the joins are clean, giving a stamped, mechanical feel rather than a calligraphic one. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent skeletal logic, and the numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction with rounded finishing details.
Works well for compact headlines, poster typography, and packaging or labels where a narrow footprint is useful. Its textured, typewriter-like flavor also suits editorial pull quotes, captions, and short blocks of text where a vintage-mechanical voice is desired.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and archival, with a friendly softness from the rounded terminals. It balances functional legibility with a mildly eccentric, vintage personality, suggesting documents, labels, and editorial ephemera rather than sleek corporate minimalism.
The design appears intended to echo the practicality of typewritten letterforms while modernizing them with rounded slab terminals and consistent monoline construction. The narrow set and regular rhythm emphasize space efficiency and a distinctive, repeatable texture in running text.
Round dots on i/j and the repeated rounded end-caps across stems and arms create a distinctive texture in text. The condensed width and steady stroke weight make the face read crisp and structured, while the softened serifs keep it from feeling harsh.
