A condensed slab serif with a monoline feel and tightly controlled proportions. Strokes stay consistently light with minimal contrast, while small, squared serifs and blunt terminals give the forms a crisp, mechanical edge. Counters are narrow and vertical, and the overall rhythm is even and upright, producing a clean columnar texture in text. Numerals and capitals follow the same tall, compact construction for a cohesive, economical footprint.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where a compact, vertical texture is desirable. It works especially well for editorial design, vintage-inspired posters, and cover typography where you want a lightly voiced slab serif presence without visual heaviness.
The tone reads vintage and typewriter-adjacent, with an understated, archival character. Its light, narrow build feels precise and slightly austere, lending a calm, editorial mood rather than a decorative one.
The design appears intended to deliver a practical, space-saving slab serif voice with a nostalgic, mechanical undertone. It prioritizes consistent rhythm and narrow proportions for efficient setting while retaining enough serif structure to feel grounded and authoritative.
In the sample text, the condensed set width produces strong vertical emphasis and noticeable whitespace between words, which can feel airy at display sizes. The slab details remain legible at larger sizes and contribute a subtle industrial flavor without heavy weight or exaggerated contrast.
