A compact slab serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and largely uniform stroke widths. The letterforms are narrow and upright, with a steady, mechanical rhythm and slightly softened terminals that keep the texture from feeling overly rigid. Counters are relatively tight and the spacing reads dense but consistent, producing a vertical, economical color in text. Numerals follow the same no-nonsense construction, with clear, open shapes and small slab feet where appropriate.
Well-suited to dense editorial settings such as articles, book interiors, and captions where a tight measure is helpful. It also works well for labels, packaging copy, and form-like UI or documentation where a straightforward, authoritative slab serif texture is desired.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and editorial, suggesting printed pages, labels, and utilitarian documents. Its narrow proportions and firm slabs give it a matter-of-fact, workmanlike voice with a subtle vintage flavor rather than a modernist polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a practical, space-saving slab serif with consistent stroke behavior and a dependable reading texture. Its restrained detailing and compact build prioritize clarity and efficiency while evoking familiar typewriter and print ephemera cues.
In longer sample lines, the font maintains an even texture and legibility, with distinctive serif cues that help word shapes stay clear at smaller sizes. The compact width makes it effective where horizontal space is limited, while the slab serifs add structure and emphasis in headings without becoming decorative.
