A monospaced roman with broad proportions, low stroke contrast, and softly blunted terminals that feel inked rather than crisply digital. Strokes are sturdy and slightly uneven in edge quality, creating a subtle worn print texture across counters and joins. Serifs are minimal and slab-like where they appear, with rounded corners and a steady, workmanlike rhythm. Numerals and capitals maintain consistent set width and vertical alignment, reinforcing the mechanical grid-like cadence typical of fixed-width designs.
Works well for typewriter-styled headlines and short-to-medium text where an analog, documentary feel is desired—quotes, captions, scene props, labels, or retro-themed posters. It can also add character to interfaces that intentionally reference terminals or fixed-width layouts, provided the textured edges align with the project’s tone.
The overall tone is practical and nostalgic, evoking typed documents, stamped forms, and workshop labeling. Its slightly rough finish adds an honest, tactile character that reads as archival, utilitarian, and a bit rugged rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture the familiar cadence of fixed-width typing with a softened, slightly worn imprint—balancing legibility with a deliberately imperfect, printed texture.
Spacing is uniform and predictable, and the wide letterforms help maintain clarity at smaller sizes. The mild distress/ink spread effect is consistent enough to feel intentional, giving text blocks a gentle texture without becoming overtly grunge.
