A condensed slab-serif with mostly uniform stroke weight and crisp, squared terminals. The serifs read as firm and blocky, giving the letters a sturdy footprint while keeping the overall color even and clean. Proportions are compact with tall lowercase and relatively short ascenders, producing a vertical, economical rhythm. Curves are tight and controlled (notably in C, G, S, and the bowls), and counters stay narrow, reinforcing the compact texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts where a compact slab can carry subheads, pull quotes, and shorter text blocks with a steady, readable texture. Its narrow footprint makes it useful for space-conscious headlines, captions, and labeling, and it can add a restrained retro flavor to posters and packaging without overpowering the content.
The tone suggests a practical, workmanlike voice with a subtle vintage/typewriter echo. It feels orderly and matter-of-fact, with just enough slab character to add grit and personality without becoming decorative.
Likely designed to offer a condensed slab-serif voice with consistent stroke weight and dependable readability, balancing a utilitarian text feel with a mild vintage/typewriter sensibility for contemporary editorial and display use.
In the samples, the type builds a dense, consistent paragraph texture with strong vertical stems and clear, squared-off finishing details. The numerals and capitals share the same disciplined, condensed stance, which helps headlines and data-like settings feel aligned and systematic.
