A monospaced sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are low-contrast and mostly uniform, with blunt, slightly irregular terminals that suggest ink spread or a stamped impression. Forms are compact and upright with generous internal counters; corners are consistently softened, giving rounds a superelliptical feel rather than perfect circles. The overall rhythm is even and mechanical in spacing, but the outlines retain subtle wobble and texture for a less clinical finish.
It works well where fixed-width alignment matters, such as code snippets, terminal-style UI, or tabular readouts, while still offering personality for headings and short paragraphs. The slightly inked texture and rounded forms also suit packaging, posters, zines, and editorial pull quotes where a retro-mechanical feel is desired.
The font reads as typewriter-adjacent and analog, combining functional legibility with a casual, handmade edge. Its rounded geometry and lightly distressed stroke behavior create a friendly, slightly gritty tone that feels retro and practical rather than sleek or corporate.
The design appears intended to blend monospaced utility with a warmer, imperfect print character. By pairing superelliptical, rounded construction with subtly uneven contours, it aims to feel familiar and legible like a typewriter, but more approachable and contemporary in its softness.
Uppercase shapes are straightforward and modular, while lowercase includes single-storey constructions that reinforce the informal voice. Numerals follow the same rounded, stamped logic and sit comfortably alongside text, maintaining consistent color and spacing across lines.
