A condensed slab-serif design with largely even stroke weight and sturdy, block-like serifs. The letterforms are tall and economical, with tight proportions and compact counters that create a firm vertical rhythm. Curves are slightly squared off, and many terminals feel blunt and engineered rather than calligraphic. Lowercase forms read clean and upright, with a straightforward, functional construction and minimal modulation throughout.
Works well for designs that need a compact serif voice: editorial subheads, pull quotes, captions, and space-constrained layouts. It also fits vintage-styled packaging, labels, and posters where a typewriter/print-shop flavor is desirable. Best used where a dense, economical rhythm is an advantage rather than a drawback.
The overall tone is utilitarian and retro, evoking typewriter and industrial printing aesthetics. Its narrow, upright stance gives it a disciplined, report-like authority, while the slab serifs add a dependable, workmanlike character. It feels practical and slightly nostalgic rather than delicate or luxurious.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving serif with a typewriter-leaning, utilitarian feel—prioritizing consistent stroke weight, sturdy slabs, and a crisp, upright texture for practical communication.
In text, the condensed spacing and strong vertical emphasis produce a dense color that suits short lines and compact layouts. Numerals match the same sturdy, straightforward construction, reinforcing a consistent, pragmatic voice across mixed copy.
