A monospaced slab-serif design with compact, upright letterforms and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. The terminals are blunt and slightly rounded, with subtle irregularities that mimic ink spread or mechanical impression, giving edges a softened, lightly worn look. Curves are simple and open, counters are generous for a typewriter style, and the overall rhythm is steady and evenly spaced, producing a consistent, grid-friendly texture in text.
Well-suited for editorial blocks that want a typed feel, such as quotes, transcripts, and short articles, as well as UI-like contexts such as forms, tables, and code-styled layouts where fixed spacing helps alignment. It also works effectively in posters, packaging accents, and identity systems seeking a vintage office or documentation aesthetic.
The font conveys an analog, archival tone—practical and direct, with a hint of nostalgia. Its slightly imperfect printing texture suggests old documents, labels, and typed correspondence rather than pristine digital typesetting.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of mechanical typing with a restrained, believable wear pattern—delivering a familiar, dependable typewriter voice while staying legible and orderly in continuous text.
Caps and lowercase share a cohesive, mechanical construction, while the numerals follow the same robust, stamped forms for a unified color across mixed text. The face maintains clarity at display and text sizes, with the distress staying subtle enough to read as character rather than noise.
