A narrow, upright serif with compact proportions and a noticeably small x-height. Strokes stay mostly even in weight, while terminals expand into chunky, slab-like feet that read as softly bracketed and slightly flared. The outlines show intentional irregularity—subtle waviness, uneven joins, and varied terminal shapes—giving the forms a printed-from-worn-type look. Counters are relatively tight and verticals dominate, producing a dense, economical rhythm that remains readable in continuous text.
This face suits display and short-to-medium editorial settings where a vintage, handcrafted texture is desirable—book covers, posters, product packaging, and identity work for cafes, craft goods, or heritage-themed brands. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads when you want a dense, typewriter-like rhythm without a strictly mechanical feel.
The overall tone feels vintage and tactile, like an old typewriter or letterpress impression with a hint of whimsy. Its irregular edges and sturdy slabs lend a handmade, slightly rugged character that can read nostalgic, folksy, and gently playful rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to evoke worn print and analog typography while staying structured and legible. Narrow proportions and sturdy slabs suggest an effort to pack text efficiently and keep strong silhouettes, while the irregular detailing adds personality and a deliberately imperfect, humanized finish.
Spacing appears intentionally uneven, contributing to an organic texture line-to-line. Numerals and lowercase share the same narrow stance and textured finish, helping headings and short copy maintain a consistent, antiqued color.
