A slim, monoline serif with softly squared slab-like serifs and rounded joins that keep edges from feeling sharp. The letterforms are tall and condensed with generous vertical rhythm, showing minimal stroke modulation and clean, open counters. Curves are slightly pinched and compact, while terminals and serifs read as small blocks with softened corners, creating a consistent, stamp-like texture across text. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright structure with simple, readable forms.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and compact typography where saving horizontal space matters. It can also work for captions, labels, and packaging that benefit from a vintage document feel, and for posters or headlines when a narrow serif voice is desired without high contrast.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and archival, with a restrained, no-nonsense voice that suggests documents, notes, and printed ephemera. Its narrow, steady rhythm gives it a focused, slightly nostalgic character rather than a loud display presence.
Likely designed to evoke the practicality of typewritten or mechanically printed text while refining it into a clean, consistent serif for contemporary layout use. The softened slab details appear intended to add warmth and legibility without introducing decorative complexity.
In running text the condensed proportions create a dense color, while the rounded slabs help maintain clarity by anchoring letter endings. The design’s simplicity and uniform stroke weight make it feel orderly and dependable, especially at medium sizes where the soft slabs remain distinct.
