A compact, tall serif with sturdy slab-like feet and softly rounded terminals throughout. Strokes are largely monolinear, with only subtle modulation, and the letterforms keep a consistent, economical rhythm that reads cleanly at text sizes. Counters are moderately open and the joins and corners are blunted rather than sharp, giving the shapes a softened, inked feel. Numerals follow the same narrow, vertical proportions, and the overall set maintains a steady, utilitarian texture in lines of copy.
Works well for editorial settings where a compact serif is useful—magazine sidebars, pull quotes, captions, and short paragraphs. Its character also suits posters, labels, and packaging that want a vintage utilitarian vibe without heavy contrast. The narrow proportions make it effective where space is limited, such as menus, product tags, and condensed headlines.
The rounded slabs and compressed proportions create a lightly retro, typewriter-adjacent tone that feels approachable rather than formal. It conveys a practical, everyday voice with a hint of handmade imperfection, making it feel warm, slightly quirky, and editorial.
The letterforms appear designed to blend sturdy slab-serif structure with rounded, ink-friendly finishing, producing a compact serif that remains legible while adding personality. The overall intention reads as a practical display-and-text hybrid with a retro, mechanical undertone and softened edges for approachability.
The design leans on strong verticals and simple construction, with distinctive rounded slab serifs that keep the silhouette consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. In running text, the narrow forms produce an even, tightly knit color while the softened terminals prevent the page from feeling brittle.
