A very light, monoline slab serif with a narrow set and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes are evenly weighted with crisp, unbracketed slab terminals that read as small, squared feet and caps rather than flared calligraphy. Curves are tall and slightly squared-off, giving rounds a restrained, almost rounded-rectangle feel, while straight stems stay clean and upright within the italic rhythm. Counters are open and vertical proportions are generous, producing an airy texture; overall spacing feels steady, with modest width variation between glyphs rather than strict monospace regularity.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and long-form reading where a light, narrow texture can fit more characters per line without feeling cramped. It also works for captions, side notes, and interface copy that benefits from a crisp, restrained voice, and for packaging or labeling that wants a subtle typewriter cue without heavy inkiness.
The tone is calm and utilitarian with a distinct typewriter and archival flavor. Its lightness and narrowness keep it refined and unobtrusive, while the slab terminals add a subtle mechanical authority that feels literary and period-leaning rather than trendy.
Likely designed to merge typewriter-like slabs and a disciplined monoline build with an italic posture, yielding a compact, readable face for text-driven composition. The emphasis appears to be on clarity, consistent rhythm, and a lightly mechanical character that stays elegant at text sizes.
The italic slant is uniform and measured, supporting continuous reading without dramatic emphasis. Numerals and capitals carry the same spare construction, maintaining a consistent, disciplined color across mixed-case text.
