A monospaced roman with chunky, rounded slab-like serifs and softly blunted terminals. Strokes are sturdy and fairly even, with gentle swelling and slight irregularity that suggests ink spread or worn impressions rather than crisp vector geometry. Curves are full and somewhat squarish in places, counters are open, and the overall rhythm is steady and mechanical while still retaining a subtle wobble in edges and joins. Numerals and capitals sit firmly on the baseline with a solid, blocky silhouette that reads clearly at display and text sizes.
Well suited for title cards, packaging and product labeling, posters, and editorial callouts where a typewritten voice is desired with extra personality. It also works for UI-like readouts, captions, or credits when you want consistent character widths and a gently worn, analog feel.
The tone is distinctly retro and practical, evoking paperwork, labels, and stamped or typed ephemera. Its softened shapes and slightly imperfect imprint add warmth and character, making it feel more human and nostalgic than sterile.
The font appears designed to capture a classic mechanical typing impression while smoothing it into a bold, friendly texture. The consistent spacing supports structured layouts, while the rounded serifs and slightly imperfect strokes introduce an intentionally nostalgic, tactile finish.
The design leans on sturdy verticals and short, rounded serifs to keep letters distinct within fixed spacing, helping maintain clarity even in dense settings. The slightly softened outlines create a textured color on the page without resorting to heavy distressing.
