A condensed slab-serif with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals that give the letters a gentle, inked feel. Serifs are blocky but not sharp, often ending in small bulb-like caps, and curves are slightly squashed to fit the narrow width. Counters stay open and simple, with a consistent vertical stress and tidy, upright construction. The texture on a line is even and readable, while small idiosyncrasies—like the hooked descenders and rounded joins—add character without breaking consistency.
This font suits short-to-medium text where a condensed, characterful slab serif can add presence without taking much horizontal space—such as packaging, labels, posters, and editorial headlines. It also works well for retro-themed branding and display copy that benefits from a typewriter-like, approachable texture.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and vintage, with a warm, approachable personality. Its narrow stance and rounded slab details read as practical yet playful, suggesting handmade or analog printing rather than sleek modernism.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-saving slab serif with softened terminals for a friendlier, more human tone. It balances utilitarian legibility with subtle quirks to evoke vintage print and typewritten charm in contemporary layouts.
Capitals are tall and compact, and the numerals follow the same narrow, upright logic for a cohesive set. Descenders on letters like g, j, p, and q are prominent and help create a lively baseline rhythm, especially in longer text. The design maintains a consistent stroke thickness across curves and straight segments, emphasizing clarity over calligraphic modulation.
