A slender slab serif with consistent, light stroke weight and a notably tall, condensed silhouette. Serifs read as blocky and supportive, but with softened, rounded joins and terminals that keep the texture from feeling harsh. Curves are narrow and upright, counters are moderately open, and verticals dominate the rhythm, creating an orderly, column-like page color. Numerals and capitals share the same restrained, linear construction, with modest stroke modulation mostly perceived through the interplay of straight stems and rounded bowls rather than dramatic thick–thin changes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in editorial layouts, book interiors, and essays where a light, structured serif texture is desirable. It can also work for captions, side notes, and compact UI text where clear differentiation between characters is important, and for understated headlines that need a vintage, typewritten flavor without heavy weight.
The overall tone is calm and utilitarian with a clear typewriter and editorial nostalgia. Rounded slab details add warmth and approachability, balancing the strict, upright structure with a slightly handmade, human cadence. It feels classic and legible without becoming overly formal.
The design appears intended to echo typewriter-inspired slab construction while refining it for smoother, contemporary setting. By combining narrow proportions with softened slabs and consistent strokes, it aims for economical space use, clarity, and a friendly, archival voice.
In text, the font maintains a steady cadence and clear word shapes, with tall ascenders and short-to-moderate extenders that emphasize vertical rhythm. The rounded slab serifs help keep letterforms distinct at smaller sizes while preserving a gentle, softened finish in headings.
