A compact, tall serif with slab-like serifs that end in softened, rounded terminals. Strokes keep a largely even thickness with minimal contrast, creating a steady, mechanical rhythm reminiscent of typewriter lettering. The proportions are narrow and vertical, with a relatively small x-height and long ascenders/descenders that give lowercase forms a lanky silhouette. Curves are clean and slightly squarish in places, and the numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction with clear, open counters.
It works well for body text and longer editorial passages where a narrow footprint is helpful, and it can also add typewriter-style character to captions, pull quotes, labels, and packaging. The clear figures and straightforward letterforms make it suitable for informational settings such as catalogs, forms, and headings in space-conscious layouts.
The overall tone feels archival and practical—like typed documents, labels, and catalog copy—while the rounded endings keep it approachable rather than austere. It reads as quietly nostalgic and workmanlike, with a subtle warmth that suits editorial or institutional voices.
The design appears intended to evoke classic typewritten slab-serifs in a cleaner, more polished digital form, prioritizing compact proportions and consistent stroke weight while softening the feel through rounded terminals. It aims for legibility and a familiar document-like texture with a hint of retro charm.
Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for continuous reading, with consistent spacing across the alphabet and figures. Round letters like O/C/S and the ampersand show softened joins and terminals that reinforce the font’s gentle, rounded slab personality.
