A monoline slab-serif design with sturdy, squared construction and gently rounded corners that soften the otherwise mechanical skeleton. Strokes stay even and dark, with compact counters and blunt, slightly bulbous terminals that echo typebar impact. The spacing follows a strict fixed rhythm, and the overall silhouette reads broad and steady, with simple, no-nonsense shapes and minimal modulation.
Well-suited to typewriter-styled layouts such as scripts, letters, notes, forms, and listings where fixed character widths are beneficial. It also works effectively for headers, captions, and retro-themed packaging or posters when a mechanical, document-like tone is desired.
The font projects a vintage, practical voice—like a well-used office typewriter or stamped paperwork—balanced by a friendly softness at the terminals. It feels straightforward and documentary, with just enough irregularity in the edges to suggest tactile ink on paper rather than sterile digital output.
The design appears intended to recreate the dependable rhythm and sturdy letterforms of classic typewritten text, pairing rigid spacing and slab structure with subtly softened details for readability and charm in modern settings.
Capitals and figures appear robust and highly legible, with pronounced slab feet and strong horizontals that give lines a stable baseline. The punctuation and curves keep a slightly compressed, ink-trap-like feel in tight joins, reinforcing the impression of mechanical imprinting.
