A condensed slab serif with a crisp, monolinear feel and gently bracketed, blocky serifs. Strokes stay even and controlled, with narrow proportions and a steady vertical rhythm that gives lines a tidy, economical texture. Curves are slightly softened rather than geometric, and terminals tend to finish squarely, reinforcing a practical, print-oriented look. Numerals and capitals share the same restrained, upright structure, with clear, simple shapes designed for consistent alignment in text.
Well-suited to text-forward applications where space efficiency and a steady reading rhythm matter, such as editorial layouts, captions, instructions, and forms. It can also work for labels and packaging that benefit from a compact slab-serif voice with clear letterforms.
The overall tone is classic and workmanlike, recalling typewriter and small-press printing without leaning into heavy distress. It feels straightforward and editorial—more “document” than “display”—with a quiet, slightly nostalgic character.
The design appears aimed at providing a practical, condensed slab serif for everyday typography, emphasizing consistent stroke behavior, compact spacing, and dependable readability across mixed-case text and numerals.
The set shows a consistent narrow fit across cases, with tall ascenders and compact widths that keep word shapes tight. Round letters remain fairly vertical and contained, helping maintain an even color in paragraphs. The figures are simple and legible, matching the no-nonsense detailing of the letters.
