A compact, narrow text face with sturdy slab-like serifs and softly rounded corners. Strokes stay largely even, with minimal modulation, giving the letters a solid, mechanical rhythm. Serifs are prominent and often bracketed into the stems, while many terminals show slight rounding or bulb-like endings that soften the otherwise rigid construction. Counters are fairly tight and the fit is compact, producing a dense, economical color in paragraphs while keeping letterforms crisp and legible.
Well-suited for dense editorial settings where a compact measure is helpful, such as magazines, manuals, and reference pages. It also works nicely for captions, labels, and UI or document-like layouts that benefit from a typewriter-inspired, utilitarian texture.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and pragmatic, with a touch of vintage industrial charm. It reads as straightforward and functional rather than elegant, conveying reliability and a no-nonsense editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver efficient, space-saving readability with a durable slab-serif structure, while rounding and softened terminals add approachability and reduce harshness in continuous reading.
The uppercase presents a tall, condensed presence, and the lowercase maintains clear differentiation with sturdy stems and compact bowls. Numerals follow the same robust, slabbed logic, reinforcing the font’s consistent, workmanlike texture across mixed text.
