This font presents a narrow, upright serifed structure with sturdy slab-like feet and softly rounded terminals. Strokes are largely monoline with minimal contrast, and many joins show subtle ink-trap-like notches that keep counters open at small sizes. The serifs are short and strongly bracketed, giving each letter a slightly stamped, mechanical finish while remaining smooth rather than sharp. Proportions are compact and tall, with tight apertures and a consistent, rhythmic texture in running text.
It suits editorial layouts, book interiors, and long-form passages where a narrow serif can conserve space while maintaining a classic voice. The distinctive typewriter-like details also make it effective for packaging, posters, and identity work that wants a vintage or crafted printing mood.
The overall tone is typewriter-adjacent and nostalgic, evoking editorial and archival material with a slightly quirky, approachable warmth. Its narrow stance reads efficient and utilitarian, while the rounded finishing details prevent it from feeling austere.
The design appears intended to blend the practicality of compact, narrow letterforms with the personality of typewriter and letterpress influences. Rounded terminals and sturdy, bracketed slabs aim to keep the face readable and friendly while preserving a distinctive, period-tinged texture.
The set shows lively, individualized shapes—especially in curved letters and numerals—suggesting a hand-set or metal-type sensibility rather than strict geometric construction. In the sample text, spacing and color create a steady, readable gray with a subtly textured, printed feel.
