A compact serif design with a narrow set and even, low-contrast strokes. Serifs are slab-like and softly bracketed, with rounded terminals that give corners a cushioned feel rather than sharp cuts. The lowercase shows a sturdy, readable structure with a two-storey “a,” a narrow “e,” and a descender “g” with a looped form; punctuation and figures follow the same restrained, upright rhythm. Overall spacing is tight and vertical, producing a tidy columnar texture in continuous text.
It suits editorial layouts, book interiors, and narrow-column body text where a tight footprint is useful. The crisp, upright rhythm also works well for captions, pull quotes, and packaging copy that wants a subtle vintage or typewriter-adjacent character while remaining readable.
The tone reads as quietly vintage and practical, evoking typewriter and paperback typography without feeling overly distressed. Rounded finishes temper the rigidity of the narrow proportions, creating a friendly, bookish voice that stays neutral and composed.
The design appears intended to blend dependable text performance with a lightly nostalgic personality. Its narrow proportions and consistent stroke treatment prioritize economy and rhythm, while rounded, bracketed slab serifs add warmth and recognizability in both display lines and longer passages.
Distinctive details include the compact, high-shouldered arches in letters like “m” and “n,” small dots on “i/j,” and gently curved joins that keep the texture from looking mechanical. Numerals are tall and straightforward, matching the font’s vertical emphasis and measured cadence.
