A monospaced, typewriter-like serif with heavy, rounded slab terminals and softly blunted corners. Strokes stay fairly even throughout, with subtle waviness and slight irregularities that suggest ink spread or worn type, giving each letter a gently roughened silhouette. Counters are open and generously sized, and the overall proportions feel wide and steady, producing an even, mechanical rhythm across lines despite the organic edge texture.
Well-suited to typewriter-styled layouts, retro editorial headlines, and poster typography where a mechanical grid and vintage tone are desired. The consistent spacing also supports lists, forms, captions, and label-like applications where alignment matters, while the inked edges can add character to branding and packaging graphics.
The font conveys a vintage, hands-on feel—practical and archival, like old correspondence, labels, or paperwork. Its slightly imperfect edges add warmth and authenticity without becoming overtly distressed, balancing workmanlike clarity with a tactile, analog mood.
The design appears intended to emulate mechanical type with a softened, slightly worn imprint, preserving monospaced discipline while adding a human, printed texture. It aims for dependable readability and a recognizable analog voice that feels sourced from paper and ink rather than a purely digital build.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and formal, while the lowercase introduces more playful, rounded shapes that keep long passages from feeling too rigid. Numerals are bold and simple, matching the same softened slab treatment and maintaining consistent set width for tight alignment.
