A condensed, monoline serif with soft, slab-like feet and rounded terminals throughout. Strokes stay largely even, with gentle flare into the serifs and minimal modulation, producing a steady vertical rhythm. Proportions are tall and narrow with compact counters; curves (C, O, S) are slightly pinched and upright, and joins tend to be smooth rather than sharp. The numerals echo the same narrow, rounded construction, and overall spacing reads tight but orderly.
Works well for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short blocks of text where a vintage, typewriter-adjacent tone is desired. The condensed width helps fit longer titles on book covers and posters, and the soft slab details can add personality to packaging and branding accents.
The design channels a typewriter and early editorial feel, but with softened edges that make it more approachable than strictly mechanical. Its narrow stance and rounded slab details give it a nostalgic, slightly eccentric character suited to playful yet literate messaging.
Likely intended to blend typewriter-era charm with a smoother, more contemporary friendliness by rounding the serifs and terminals while keeping a consistent, monoline build. The narrow proportions suggest a focus on compact setting and distinctive texture in display and titling contexts.
Distinctive features include bulb-like terminals on many strokes, compact bowls, and a consistent baseline presence from the sturdy, rounded serifs. The condensed forms create a dense texture in paragraphs, making it feel emphatic without needing heavy stroke weight.
