A monospaced slab-serif with broad proportions, blunt terminals, and softly rounded corners that mimic ink spread and metal type impact. Strokes stay fairly even, with minimal contrast and sturdy verticals, while the serifs are short and blocky rather than sharp. Curves are generous and slightly flattened, and many joins and terminals show subtle bulging that gives the letters a stamped, slightly worn presence. The overall rhythm is steady and grid-friendly, with clear, open counters and consistent character widths across the set.
Works well for projects that need a typewritten or printed-document voice, such as editorial pull-quotes, short-form body copy, captions, packaging labels, and form-like layouts. Its consistent spacing and sturdy shapes also suit UI mockups, terminals, and code-styled graphics where a mechanical rhythm is desirable.
The font conveys a practical, old-school typing feel—matter-of-fact and mechanical, yet warmed by imperfect, inked edges. It suggests paperwork, labels, and utilitarian documentation, with a hint of nostalgia from its slightly softened, printed texture.
The design appears intended to recreate the feel of a classic typewritten page with softened, inked edges and sturdy slab-serif structure, balancing legibility with an intentionally imperfect, stamped texture.
In text, the face stays readable while retaining a distinctive “struck” silhouette: rounded slab feet, sturdy stems, and compact detailing that holds together at medium sizes. The numerals follow the same sturdy, inked construction, pairing well with the alphabet for codes, lists, and data-like layouts.
