A condensed serif with a compact footprint, narrow set width, and largely monoline strokes. The serifs are slab-like with soft, rounded corners and mild bracketing, giving terminals a cushioned, stamped feel rather than sharp, chiseled edges. Counters are small and vertical stress is subtle, with tall ascenders and a comparatively small x-height that reinforces a lean, upright texture. Overall spacing and letterfit read tight and economical, producing a dense, even rhythm in text.
Works well for space-conscious text settings such as editorial columns, catalogs, captions, and dense UI or document typography where a narrow measure is helpful. It can also suit packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a sturdy serif presence without heavy contrast.
The tone feels typewriter-adjacent and archival—practical, slightly nostalgic, and editorial. Its narrow proportions and softened slabs suggest utilitarian printing and catalog typography, with a calm, matter-of-fact voice rather than a decorative one.
Likely designed to provide a compact, readable serif with a typewriter-like sturdiness and softened slabs that maintain clarity and consistency across sizes. The emphasis appears to be on economy of space, steady rhythm, and a quietly vintage printing flavor.
In the samples, the condensed structure creates a pronounced vertical cadence, and rounded slab terminals help keep the dark strokes from feeling brittle at display sizes. Figures appear straightforward and lining, matching the font’s restrained, functional character.
