A condensed, monolinear slab serif with rounded, softened terminals that give the serifs a blunt, cushioned look. Strokes stay fairly even from verticals to curves, creating a steady color on the page, while subtle flares and small notches at joins add a slightly inky, press-printed character. Proportions are tall and compact, with tight sidebearings and a modest x-height relative to the capitals, producing a narrow, vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same upright, compact construction and maintain consistent weight and serif treatment.
This face suits condensed headlines and subheads where space is tight, such as book covers, magazine spreads, posters, and packaging labels. Its even stroke weight and softened slabs also make it a good choice for short-to-medium text blocks that want a vintage or typewritten flavor without losing structure and readability.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and archival, with a warm, analog texture rather than a purely geometric precision. Rounded slabs and gentle quirks in curves make it feel approachable and literary—suggesting catalog copy, period signage, or retro editorial settings. It balances utilitarian clarity with a hint of personality.
The design appears aimed at combining the sturdiness of a slab serif with rounded, print-worn details to evoke an analog, archival feel. Its condensed proportions and consistent stroke weight suggest an intention to deliver a compact, space-efficient voice with a distinctive retro/editorial character.
Capitals read firm and architectural, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic curves and slightly varied widths, which adds liveliness in text. The punctuation and figures keep the same sturdy, softened serif vocabulary, helping long lines maintain a consistent, compact cadence.
