A condensed serif with gently bracketed, slab-like serifs and softened terminals that keep the overall texture friendly rather than sharp. Strokes stay even and calm, with modest modulation and rounded joins that read smoothly at text sizes. Proportions are tall and compact, producing a vertical rhythm; counters are relatively open for the width, and curves are slightly pinched in places, adding character. The numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction, with clear, simple forms and minimal ornament.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a condensed serif can add personality without becoming decorative—book covers, pull quotes, headings, and narrow-column layouts. It also works for packaging and identity applications that want a vintage, crafted feel while remaining readable in short paragraphs or longer lines.
The tone feels literary and old-world, like a lightly eccentric book face or a typewriter-adjacent print style. Its narrow, upright stance gives it a tidy, archival sensibility, while the softened slabs and slightly quirky shapes add warmth and personality.
The design appears intended to combine a space-saving condensed build with approachable slab-serifs and rounded finishing, yielding a text-capable face that still carries distinctive, slightly quirky charm.
Capitals maintain a restrained, classic structure, while lowercase details (notably the single-storey a and g and the gently hooked descenders) introduce a more handmade flavor. Overall spacing appears consistent and compact, creating a tight, column-friendly color in running text.
