A condensed slab-serif with tall proportions, monoline strokes, and crisp, square-ended serifs that read as sturdy despite the lean build. Curves are narrow and controlled, with straight-sided bowls and compact counters that keep the texture tight in paragraphs. Terminals are mostly blunt and vertical, contributing to a clean, mechanical rhythm; joins are simple and consistent, and the overall spacing feels even and measured across the alphabet and figures.
Works well for editorial and document settings where space efficiency and steady readability are important, such as magazines, reports, manuals, and forms. It can also serve effectively in captions and sidebars, and in interface or print layouts that need a compact, structured slab-serif voice.
The tone evokes typewriter and utilitarian print, giving text a disciplined, no-nonsense character with a subtle retro flavor. Its narrow, vertical stance feels orderly and efficient, lending a matter-of-fact voice that suits content meant to appear dependable rather than expressive.
The design appears intended as a practical, condensed slab-serif that delivers a consistent, workmanlike texture in continuous reading while retaining the familiar cues of typewriter-inspired serifs. Its restrained detailing and regular rhythm suggest a focus on clarity, alignment, and dependable everyday typography.
In the sample text, the condensed width produces a dark, tightly knit color and a strong vertical cadence, which can help fit more characters per line while maintaining clear word shapes. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction, matching the text face closely for inline use.
