A compact, narrow text face with softly bracketed slab serifs and rounded terminals that give the strokes a cushioned finish. Strokes stay even throughout, with minimal contrast and a steady vertical stress; curves are slightly squarish, contributing to a sturdy, engineered rhythm. Proportions are tight with relatively tall ascenders and descenders, and the overall spacing reads economical and regular, producing a crisp, column-friendly texture in paragraphs.
Works well for editorial layouts, book interiors, captions, and any content where you want a tight, efficient line with a hint of vintage utility. The distinctive rounded slab detailing also suits packaging, labels, and posters where a compact serif can provide personality and structure without heavy contrast.
The rounded slabs and restrained, steady drawing evoke a typewriter and mid‑century editorial feel, but with a gentler, more approachable tone than a purely mechanical mono style. It reads practical and matter‑of‑fact, with a subtle nostalgic character suited to text that wants personality without becoming decorative.
Likely designed to merge typewriter-like practicality with rounded slab warmth, offering a compact serif that maintains clarity in continuous text while adding a gently retro, crafted presence.
Letterforms show consistent serif treatment across caps and lowercase, with single-storey lowercase a and g and simple, utilitarian numerals. The narrow set and firm serifs create strong word shapes at smaller sizes, while the rounded finishing keeps headlines from feeling harsh.
