A condensed slab-serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a compact horizontal footprint. Strokes show mild modulation and occasional pinched joints that read like subtle ink-trap behavior, giving the letterforms a slightly worn, print-oriented texture. Terminals and serifs stay crisp and blocky, while curves remain relatively tight, creating a consistent, disciplined rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Figures are straightforward and sturdy, matching the narrow, vertically emphatic proportions of the text face.
Works well for editorial headlines, chapter openers, and pull quotes where a condensed slab voice is useful. It also suits packaging, labels, and poster typography that aims for heritage or workmanlike credibility, especially when set with generous line spacing to balance its narrow proportions.
The overall tone feels vintage and utilitarian, with a hint of typewriter and old-book color. Its narrow stance and firm slabs convey practicality and restraint, while the slight irregularity at joins adds a human, analog warmth rather than a purely modern precision.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, readable slab-serif texture with a historically tinged, print-made feel. Its sturdy slabs and controlled contrast suggest an emphasis on clarity and impact, while the subtle pinching and tight curves add personality for display and branding contexts.
In running text the tight widths and strong serif presence create a pronounced vertical cadence, which can read authoritative and archival. The design’s small details at joins and counters become more noticeable at larger sizes, where the face takes on a distinctive, slightly distressed print character.
