A monospaced serif face with sturdy, slab-like feet and blunt terminals that echo mechanical type output. Strokes are fairly even in weight, with subtly softened corners and slight irregularities along contours that suggest ink spread or impression. Curves are compact and a bit squarish, counters stay open, and the overall rhythm is steady and grid-friendly, reinforcing its fixed-width structure.
Well-suited for typewriter-styled layouts such as manuscripts, scripts, lab notes, labels, and forms where strict character alignment matters. It also works for editorial pull quotes, packaging copy, and UI elements like code-like readouts when a tactile, printed feel is desired.
The font conveys a practical, archival tone—matter-of-fact and documentary, with a faintly worn, analog texture. It feels like typed notes, reports, or captions where a human, mechanical touch adds character without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of mechanical typing—consistent spacing and firm slab serifs—tempered by mild roughness to evoke real-world ink and paper texture. The goal seems to balance legibility with an authentic, timeworn personality.
Caps and lowercase maintain consistent set width and a stable baseline, giving paragraphs a tidy, typewritten color. Numerals follow the same sturdy, workmanlike build, reading clearly while retaining the slightly distressed edge behavior seen across the alphabet.
