A condensed slab serif with unbracketed, blocky terminals and a lightly roughened, inked edge that gives strokes a slightly uneven texture. The design keeps a mostly monolinear feel with modest contrast, while counters stay fairly open and verticals remain dominant, creating a tall, narrow silhouette. Serifs are short and squared-off, and many joins and curves show subtle asymmetry that reads like printwear or a hand-pressed impression rather than purely geometric construction. Overall spacing feels compact with a lively, slightly irregular rhythm across letters and numerals.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where a condensed, characterful slab serif is desirable. It works especially well for packaging, vintage-themed posters, book covers, and editorial design that benefits from a tactile, printed feel. For body text, it will read best at comfortable sizes and generous leading so the condensed proportions don’t feel overly tight.
The face conveys a vintage, typewriter-adjacent mood with a playful eccentricity—more storybook and editorial than corporate. Its worn texture and narrow build evoke printed ephemera, old labels, and literary headings, lending personality without becoming overtly decorative.
The design appears intended to merge the clarity and structure of a narrow slab serif with the personality of imperfect print—suggesting typewritten or letterpress artifacts. It prioritizes a distinctive voice and historical flavor while keeping letterforms recognizable and rhythmically consistent across the set.
Capitals are notably tall and slender, with distinctive, idiosyncratic forms that add character in display use. The numerals share the same narrow proportions and squared terminals, helping mixed text maintain a consistent, stamped look. In longer lines, the condensed width increases density, while the rough edges remain visible as part of the intended voice.
