A condensed serif with a monoline, low-contrast skeleton and crisp, angular construction. Strokes end in small bracketed serifs and distinctive forked/spurred terminals that create notches and mid-stem accents, giving many letters a slightly engineered, stamped look. Curves are squarish and faceted rather than fully round, with tight apertures and compact counters; the overall rhythm is steady but intentionally irregular in detail, reading as workmanlike rather than polished. Figures and capitals share the same narrow proportions and hard corners, maintaining a consistent, grid-friendly presence.
Works well for headlines and subheads where its narrow fit and textured terminals can add character without relying on heavy contrast. It also suits labels, packaging, and poster typography that aims for a vintage or utilitarian feel, as well as editorial callouts or pull quotes where a typewriter-like voice is desired.
The font conveys a vintage, typewriter-adjacent tone with a practical, documentary character. Its spurs and sharp terminals add a faintly Western/industrial flavor, suggesting old forms, ledgers, labels, or mechanical printing. Overall it feels archival, no-nonsense, and slightly rugged.
Likely designed to evoke traditional mechanical or typewritten lettering while adding ornamental spurs for extra personality and recognizability. The controlled, narrow proportions and consistent stroke weight suggest an intention to remain functional in settings that require compact text and strong, legible outlines.
In text, the narrow set and firm verticals create strong horizontal density, while the spurred details add texture that becomes more noticeable at display sizes. The faceted bowls and notched joins give it a distinctive silhouette that separates it from smoother book serifs.
