A monospaced slab-serif design with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and slightly rounded terminals that feel like a soft inked imprint. Serifs are blunt and compact, with a gently irregular edge treatment that suggests mechanical strike and subtle wear rather than crisp digital geometry. Counters are open and legible, curves are broad and calm, and the overall rhythm is even and consistent across the set, keeping alignment tidy in text and tabular settings.
Works well wherever fixed-width alignment is useful, such as code samples, terminal-style UI, tables, forms, and structured lists. The typewriter character also suits editorial pull quotes, packaging accents, and period-flavored headings where a typed-document aesthetic is desired.
The tone is practical and nostalgic, evoking typed documents, receipts, and workshop labels. Its slightly imperfect print character adds a human, analog warmth while still reading as straightforward and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to capture the familiar cadence of typewritten text—consistent spacing, sturdy slabs, and a slightly ink-softened edge—while maintaining clear readability in continuous lines. It prioritizes practical clarity and an authentic mechanical tone over refined, high-contrast detail.
The uppercase has a sturdy, poster-like presence, while the lowercase stays clear and simple, with single-storey forms where expected and compact punctuation-like details (e.g., the t crossbar and small dots) that reinforce the typewritten feel. Numerals are plainspoken and easy to parse, with broad shapes and minimal stylization.
