A condensed slab serif with monoline strokes and compact proportions. Vertical stems dominate, with small, squared slab serifs that read slightly bracketed and softened, giving the joins a rounded, stamped feel rather than a sharp mechanical one. Counters are tight but open enough for clarity, and curves (C, G, S, 0) are drawn with restrained, even weight that maintains a steady rhythm across the alphabet and numerals. Overall spacing and letterfit feel disciplined and column-friendly, with subtle quirks in curvature and terminal shaping that keep it from looking purely geometric.
Works well for editorial headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a condensed footprint and sturdy presence are useful. It also suits posters, book covers, and packaging that want a vintage/typewriter cue without heavy contrast. In text, it can create a compact, rhythmic texture for short passages, captions, or narrow-column layouts.
The tone is classic and workmanlike, reminiscent of typewriter and newsroom typography, but with a gentle, approachable warmth from its softened serifs and rounded finishing. It feels archival and practical—suited to matter-of-fact communication—while still carrying a slightly idiosyncratic, vintage character.
The font appears designed to deliver a sturdy, economical reading texture with a condensed silhouette and dependable slab-serif structure. Its softened details suggest an intention to evoke vintage printing or typewritten material while remaining clean and functional for contemporary layout needs.
The design’s consistency favors vertical alignment and dense setting, making repeated forms (like stems and slabs) create a clear texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright logic, reinforcing a cohesive, utilitarian voice across text and display uses.
