A monospaced slab serif with softly rounded corners and blunted, bracketed feet that give each character a sturdy, stamped silhouette. Strokes are low-contrast and consistently weighted, with slightly irregular curves and small cut-ins/ink-trap-like notches where strokes meet, lending a mechanical yet warm rhythm. Counters are open and proportions are broad, helping letters stay clear despite the dense, blocky serifs and rounded terminals.
Well-suited to contexts that benefit from strict character alignment, such as code samples, terminal-style UI, tables, and specs. Its bold, rounded slab personality also works for headings, packaging, signage, and retro-inspired posters where a typewritten or stamped feel is desirable.
The overall tone feels typewriter-derived and analog, balancing utilitarian clarity with a friendly, approachable softness. Its chunky slabs and subtle imperfections suggest printed ephemera—labels, forms, and vintage office output—rather than sleek modern minimalism.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic typewriter slab forms with softer geometry and contemporary robustness, delivering dependable alignment and readability while preserving an analog, printed character.
Figures are straightforward and highly uniform in width, supporting tabular alignment, while the rounded slab detailing keeps repeated text from feeling overly rigid. The design maintains strong presence at display sizes and remains readable in short text thanks to its open apertures and sturdy construction.
