A monospaced serif with a gently right-leaning, typewriter-like rhythm and slightly uneven, inked contours. Strokes stay fairly even with minimal contrast, while bracketed serifs and rounded terminals soften the mechanical structure. Letterforms are open and readable, with modest curves and a subtle “wobble” that suggests imperfect imprinting rather than geometric precision. Numerals and punctuation follow the same lightly irregular texture, keeping a consistent, column-friendly cadence.
Works well where a vintage, writerly voice is desired—book and editorial titling, pull quotes, short-form posters, album or event graphics, and packaging that benefits from an analog, crafted feel. It can also support UI or layouts that want monospaced alignment without a cold, purely utilitarian appearance.
The overall tone feels nostalgic and human, like a well-used typewriter ribbon on textured paper. Its mild irregularities and soft serifs lend a friendly, storybook character—more personal and informal than strictly technical.
The design appears intended to evoke classic typewritten text while adding warmth through soft serifs and subtly imperfect edges, balancing mechanical regularity with a handmade, printed-on-paper impression.
The uppercase set reads steady and structured, while the lowercase introduces extra personality through curved joins and lively entry/exit strokes. The consistent character width reinforces a tidy, grid-aligned look even when the outlines show slight wear.
