A compact, narrow slab-serif with monoline strokes and consistently rounded corners. Serifs are small and blocky but softened at the ends, giving the forms a gentle, stamped look rather than a sharp, chiseled one. Curves are slightly squarish and terminals tend to bulb subtly, while proportions stay tall and tight with lively, uneven letter widths across the set. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded construction, keeping a cohesive rhythm in text.
Well-suited to book and album covers, posters, and packaging where a retro or typewritten flavor is desirable. It can also work for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and branding that benefits from a personable, crafted tone—especially when set with comfortable line spacing to let the narrow forms breathe.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and nostalgic, with a friendly, slightly quirky warmth. Its softened slabs and compact spacing suggest an editorial, literary character—more playful than formal—evoking vintage printing, labels, and personal correspondence.
The design appears intended to blend slab-serif structure with rounded, approachable detailing, capturing a vintage printing or typewriter-inspired texture while remaining legible and orderly. Its narrow proportions and subtle irregularities aim to deliver character and economy of space in headlines and short passages.
In the sample text, the narrow set and short lowercase body create a strong vertical emphasis, while the rounded serifs keep dense lines from feeling harsh. The design reads cleanly at display sizes, where the distinctive terminals and idiosyncratic widths become part of the voice.
