A monospaced slab-serif design with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and noticeably rounded terminals. The letterforms have a slightly inky, worn edge that softens straight segments and gives counters an irregular, pressed look. Serifs are blocky and compact, with gentle bracketing and blunted corners rather than sharp cuts, creating an even, mechanical rhythm across the set. Numerals follow the same heavy, stamped construction, with simple shapes and consistent width that reinforces the fixed-pitch texture in lines of text.
Well-suited to projects that benefit from a convincing typewritten voice: titles and headers with an analog feel, editorial sidebars, quotes, or UI elements meant to mimic forms and documents. It can also work for code-like presentation where fixed-width alignment is helpful, and for branding or packaging that leans into vintage office or workshop aesthetics.
The overall tone reads as classic typewriter and analog—practical, workmanlike, and a bit nostalgic. The softened edges and mild distress add warmth and personality, suggesting printed ephemera, receipts, labels, and correspondence rather than pristine digital typography.
The design appears intended to emulate mechanical type impressions—consistent spacing and sturdy slabs paired with softly battered contours—to deliver a familiar fixed-pitch texture with a more human, printed character than a purely geometric monospace.
In continuous text, the fixed advance width produces a strong vertical cadence, while the rounded slabs keep the page color dense but friendly. The slight irregularity at joins and terminals helps break up uniformity, giving repeated characters a subtly organic, printed feel.
