A condensed, monoline serif with soft, slab-like feet and rounded terminals that give the strokes a gently cushioned finish. Curves are narrow and verticals dominate, creating a tall, economical silhouette with a steady baseline rhythm. The serifs read as compact brackets or blobs rather than sharp wedges, and joins stay smooth and consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping the design feel cohesive at text sizes.
Works well for editorial headlines, book and magazine covers, and branding that wants a retro or typewritten flavor without rough texture. The narrow proportions make it useful for space-constrained titles, labels, and poster copy, and the rounded serifs keep longer lines feeling approachable rather than severe.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and nostalgic, but with a warmer, more playful edge than a strict mechanical face. Its narrow build and rounded details suggest an informal, literary character—quirky without becoming cartoonish.
Likely intended to blend a condensed, economical text silhouette with friendly, rounded slab-like details, evoking typewriter and vintage print cues while staying clean and legible in contemporary layout.
Counters are generally tight due to the condensed proportions, and the rounded finishing shapes are especially noticeable on terminals and serifs, which adds softness even in straight-sided letters. Numerals share the same tall, narrow posture and keep a readable, straightforward structure.
