A condensed serif with tall proportions, narrow set width, and a steady, low-contrast stroke. The serifs read as slab-like but softened with rounded ends and gentle bracketing, giving the strokes a slightly cushioned, inked-in feel rather than sharp, rigid corners. Curves are clean and upright, terminals tend to be rounded, and the overall texture is even and vertical, with ample internal space that keeps small letters clear despite the tight width. Figures are narrow and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ compressed rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a narrow serif can save horizontal space while retaining a traditional voice, such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes. The distinctive rounded slab detailing also makes it effective for packaging, labels, and posters that want a vintage or utilitarian flavor without sacrificing legibility.
The tone evokes a vintage, typewriter-adjacent practicality—orderly and readable, yet a bit idiosyncratic due to the rounded slab details and condensed stance. It feels editorial and literary, with a subtle handmade warmth that softens the mechanical rigidity often associated with narrow serifs.
The design appears intended to combine the efficiency of a condensed text face with the approachable character of rounded slab serifs, producing a readable, space-saving serif that carries a lightly nostalgic, workmanlike mood.
Across the alphabet the design maintains consistent vertical stress and a calm baseline rhythm, while the rounded serif treatment adds personality without becoming decorative. The condensed proportions create a dense, efficient line that still reads smoothly in continuous text.
