A condensed serif design with soft, slab-like feet and rounded terminals that give the letterforms a gently cushioned finish. Strokes stay fairly even throughout, with minimal contrast and a steady vertical emphasis; counters are open and the rhythm is slightly irregular in a way that feels intentional rather than rough. Serifs are short and rounded, often bracketed into the stems, while curves and joins lean toward teardrop and ball-like endings. The overall texture is light, narrow, and readable, with a hand-set, typewriter-adjacent cadence.
It suits editorial headlines, pull quotes, and book or zine covers where a vintage or typewritten flavor is desired without sacrificing clarity. The narrow build also helps fit longer titles in limited space, making it useful for posters, packaging labels, and identity work that benefits from a distinctive, friendly serif texture.
The font conveys a nostalgic, literary tone—part typewriter, part storybook—tempered by rounded details that keep it approachable. Its condensed proportions and soft terminals create a quirky, slightly whimsical voice that still feels organized and legible.
The design appears intended to blend the practicality of a condensed text face with the charm of rounded, slab-like finishing. Its even stroke weight and softened terminals aim for legibility and warmth while preserving a retro, print-oriented character.
Capitals are tall and compact, and the numerals follow the same narrow, rounded-serif logic for a cohesive color in mixed text. The sample text shows comfortable word shapes and a consistent baseline, while the rounded serifs prevent the condensed build from feeling sharp or severe.
