A tall, tightly set serif with consistent, monoline-like strokes and compact letter widths. The serifs read as small slabs with softened, rounded ends and subtle bracketing, giving the outlines a slightly inked, print-like finish rather than a razor-sharp look. Curves are clean and open (notably in C, O, and S), while verticals dominate the rhythm; joins and terminals often show gentle swelling that adds warmth without becoming calligraphic. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright logic, with simple, legible forms and rounded finishing details.
This face suits editorial typography where space is limited—magazine columns, book interiors, captions, and annotations—while still delivering a distinctive voice. It can also work well for posters, packaging, and branding that want a vintage/typewriter flavor without sacrificing readability in longer passages.
The overall tone suggests typewritten or mid-century printed ephemera: practical, a bit nostalgic, and lightly idiosyncratic. Its narrow, tall stance feels efficient and editorial, while the softened slabs keep it friendly and approachable rather than austere.
The design appears intended to blend typewriter-like economy with softened slab serifs for a more polished, print-friendly texture. It prioritizes compactness, consistent stroke presence, and an approachable, slightly retro character that stays readable in continuous text.
In the text sample, the font maintains a steady gray value and a consistent cadence, with the rounded slab endings helping prevent harsh breaks at small sizes. The narrow proportions and prominent vertical stress make it feel space-saving and orderly, while the slightly quirky detailing in letters like J, Q, and y adds personality.
