A condensed slab serif with largely even stroke weight and gently rounded terminals. Serifs are short and blocky with softened edges, giving the forms a stamped, slightly mechanical feel. Counters are compact, curves are narrow and upright, and joins stay clean and simple, producing a steady vertical rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same restrained, monoline construction, keeping the texture consistent in both short labels and longer text.
Well suited to editorial headlines, captions, and compact layouts where space is tight but a serif voice is desired. Its sturdy slabs and even strokes also fit packaging, labels, and poster typography, and it can bring a vintage, typewritten flavor to logos or title treatments.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and vintage, with a lightly quirky warmth from the rounded slab details. It reads as practical and straightforward rather than elegant, suggesting utilitarian print work with a touch of personality.
Likely designed to deliver a condensed, readable slab-serif voice with the straightforwardness of monoline construction, balancing utilitarian clarity with a subtly retro, printed character.
In paragraph settings the condensed proportions create a dense, economical color, while the soft slabs prevent the texture from looking brittle. The letterforms keep a clear, no-nonsense structure, but the slightly irregular, stamped impression adds character for display use.
