A condensed slab-serif with monoline strokes and compact letterfit. Stems are tall and straight, with small, soft-edged slab serifs and subtly rounded corners that keep the forms friendly rather than rigid. Curves are narrow and slightly taut, and several joins and terminals show a lightly irregular, inked quality that adds texture while preserving clear silhouettes. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright rhythm and maintain consistent stroke weight across straight and curved segments.
Well suited to short-to-medium display text where a condensed footprint is helpful, such as headlines, posters, and cover typography. It can also work for branding and packaging that want a retro print or typewriter-flavored voice, especially when set with generous leading or paired with a quieter text face.
The overall tone feels like a vintage typewriter or letterpress revival with a playful, slightly offbeat edge. Its tight proportions and crisp verticality read as archival and editorial, while the gentle irregularities keep it approachable and human.
Likely designed to deliver a condensed slab-serif look with even stroke weight and a lightly imperfect, printed texture, balancing utilitarian legibility with a distinctive vintage character for attention-grabbing display settings.
The design emphasizes strong vertical rhythm and compact spacing, giving lines a dense, column-like feel. The slab serifs are modest but present throughout, helping characters stay distinct at display sizes while retaining a simple, utilitarian construction.
