A heavy, monospaced slab-serif with generous, blocky proportions and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, even color in text. Serifs are broad and rectangular but rounded at the edges, giving terminals a blunted, cushioned feel. Counters are relatively compact and apertures tend to be small, while the overall fit remains rigid and uniform due to the fixed character width.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium passages where a bold, typewriter-flavored voice is desired—posters, headlines, labels, and signage. It can also work for editorial callouts and interface elements when a sturdy, characterful mono texture is more important than tight text economy.
The overall tone reads as typewriter-inspired and workmanlike, with a warm, approachable softness from the rounded slab detailing. It suggests practicality and honesty rather than refinement, leaning into a nostalgic, utilitarian character that still feels friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic typewriter/industrial impression while softening the impact with rounded slab terminals, balancing toughness with approachability. Its fixed-width structure and heavy, low-modulation strokes prioritize uniform rhythm and strong presence.
In running text, the strong weight and uniform spacing create pronounced rhythm and a clear mechanical cadence. The numerals share the same chunky construction and rounded slab finish, reinforcing a cohesive, sturdy texture across alphanumerics.
