A monoline slab-serif with pronounced, blocky serifs that end in softened, rounded corners. Strokes remain largely even with low contrast, and many joins and terminals show small bulges and notches that give an inked, slightly irregular impression while staying structurally consistent. Letterforms are compact and sturdy with generous counters; curves are broad and controlled, and the overall set maintains a steady rhythm in mixed-case text. Numerals and capitals read clearly, with a subtly mechanical cadence and small idiosyncrasies that keep the texture lively.
Well-suited for projects that want a typewriter-inspired texture—editorial pull quotes, headlines, captions, and brand materials where a documentary or retro tone is desirable. It can work effectively for short-to-medium text blocks when a sturdy, characterful slab-serif voice is preferred, and it also performs well in posters and packaging where the inked rhythm becomes part of the aesthetic.
The font evokes classic typewriter and mid‑century office print, blending practicality with a gentle, worn-in charm. Its rounded slab details soften the industrial tone, creating a friendly, approachable voice that still feels direct and documentary. The slightly imperfect inked texture adds character without tipping into novelty.
The design appears intended to capture a typewritten, inked look with dependable readability, using rounded slab serifs and subtle irregularities to add personality and warmth. It aims for a practical, print-forward texture that feels authentic rather than polished, balancing clarity with a lightly distressed, mechanical charm.
In the sample text, the face produces an even color with noticeable micro-variations at terminals and intersections, which can add warmth and authenticity at larger sizes. The design’s sturdy serifs and rounded finishing help maintain legibility while contributing a distinctive, tactile presence on the page.
