A condensed, upright slab-serif with softly rounded corners and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes stay fairly even throughout, with subtle flare into the serifs and occasional bulb-like terminals that give a slightly inky, stamped impression. Proportions are tall and compact, with modest counters and a rhythm that feels lightly irregular rather than strictly geometric. The lowercase shows tall ascenders/descenders relative to its small x-height, reinforcing a vertical, narrow color in text.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed stance and characterful slab details can carry personality—headlines, posters, book covers, and identity work. It can work for short passages or captions when a dense, vintage-leaning texture is desired, but it will be most effective when given enough size and spacing to breathe.
The overall tone is quirky and approachable, combining a classic slab-serif backbone with a playful, handmade inflection. It reads as retro and slightly typewriter-adjacent, suggesting warmth and personality rather than strict formality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a compact slab-serif for space-efficient layouts while adding warmth through rounded terminals and subtly irregular, inked-feeling forms. It balances legibility with distinctive texture to create a recognizable voice in branding and editorial display.
In continuous text the condensed set and tight internal spaces create a dark, compact texture, while the rounded joins and soft terminals keep it from feeling harsh. The figures follow the same narrow, upright logic and maintain consistent weight and serif treatment for a cohesive typographic voice.
