A condensed slab-serif with a monoline, low-contrast skeleton and crisp, square-ended serifs and terminals. Strokes stay relatively even, with narrow counters and compact apertures that emphasize a tall, vertical rhythm. Curves are slightly pinched and asymmetrically drawn in places, giving round letters a gently irregular, hand-touched feel while keeping overall construction consistent and upright. Numerals and punctuation follow the same spare, linear logic, with simple forms and minimal modulation.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book-cover titling, and short to medium text where a condensed footprint is useful. It can also work for packaging, labels, and branding that want a retro-quirky voice without going fully decorative. For long reading, it will benefit from slightly larger sizes and generous leading to keep the narrow counters from feeling cramped.
The tone reads quirky and lightly eccentric—more charming than formal—with a subtle vintage, bookish character. Its narrow build and squared details give it a tidy, practical presence, while the slightly idiosyncratic curves keep it friendly and distinctive.
The font appears designed to deliver a compact, space-saving slab-serif voice with clean square terminals, while introducing just enough irregularity in curves and joins to feel personable and distinctive in display and editorial use.
The design’s tight spacing and narrow internal counters make it feel best when given comfortable tracking and line spacing, especially in paragraph settings. The slab details are restrained rather than heavy, functioning as crisp finishing cues instead of dominant blocks.
