A compact, narrow serif with a monoline-like stroke and soft, slabby serif treatment. Serifs read as rounded blocks with occasional ball terminals, giving the ends a cushioned, ink-trap-free feel rather than sharp wedges. Curves are smooth and slightly condensed, while verticals stay steady and consistent, producing an even typographic color. Counters are relatively small for the narrow width, and spacing feels open enough to keep lines from clogging in text despite the condensed proportions.
Works well for editorial and book typography where a narrow footprint and steady texture help pack content efficiently while retaining a traditional serif identity. The softened slab details also make it suitable for packaging, labels, and pull quotes that want a vintage, typewritten flavor without harsh edges.
The overall tone suggests a typewriter-inspired, literary voice—measured and tidy, but with a friendly softness from the rounded slabs and dots. It feels archival and practical, with a subtle eccentricity that keeps it from looking purely mechanical.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, economical text face with a classic serif skeleton, then tempered with rounded slab terminals to keep the voice approachable and slightly retro. The consistent stroke weight and narrow set point toward predictable, readable rhythm in continuous reading and dense layouts.
Numbers share the same narrow, rounded-serifs logic, with simple forms and gentle terminals that match the lowercase. The italic is not shown; all samples read as a straightforward roman with consistent stroke behavior and restrained contrast.
