A compact, tall slab-serif with rounded, bulb-like terminals and softly bracketed feet. Strokes read largely even, with subtle modulation and rounded corners that keep counters open despite the narrow proportions. The forms are straightforward and upright, with simple geometry and a steady rhythm; curves (C, G, O, S) are smoothly drawn and the serifs feel like small, cushioned blocks rather than sharp slabs. Numerals and caps maintain the same condensed vertical emphasis, giving lines a tight, efficient texture.
Works well for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short editorial text where a compact footprint and vintage flavor are desirable. It also suits labels, packaging, menus, and brand systems that want a typewriter-inspired voice with softened, approachable details.
The overall tone is typewriter-adjacent and retro without feeling brittle, mixing utilitarian clarity with a slightly playful softness from the rounded serifs and terminals. It suggests practical documentation, signage, and editorial settings where a vintage, human touch is welcome.
Likely designed to evoke classic typewriter and industrial print traditions in a condensed, space-saving form, while rounding the slab details to improve friendliness and legibility at display and mixed text sizes.
Because of the condensed build, the font creates strong vertical cadence and can look dense in long runs, while the rounded serifs help prevent it from appearing overly harsh. The punctuation and basic shapes shown keep a consistent, mechanical regularity that supports clear scanning.
