A monospaced serif with a pronounced rightward slant and softly swelling strokes that suggest inked, slightly worn impressions. Terminals are rounded and wedge-like, with subtle bracketed serifs that create a bouncy baseline and an irregular, humanized rhythm while keeping consistent fixed-width spacing. Counters are fairly open and the overall color is dark and punchy, with moderate contrast and gently varied curves that feel more stamped than geometric.
Well-suited for pull quotes, poetry, and short-to-medium passages where a typewritten voice is part of the message. It also works well in posters, covers, and packaging that benefit from a retro editorial texture, and in headlines where the slant and soft serifs can add character without becoming overly decorative.
The font reads as nostalgic and literary, echoing typewriter pages and vintage print ephemera. Its slanted, slightly imperfect forms add warmth and personality, giving text a casual, story-driven tone rather than a strictly technical one.
Likely designed to capture a mechanical typewriter feel with a touch of ink spread and vintage irregularity, while preserving the practical predictability of fixed-width spacing. The goal appears to be legible, characterful text that evokes printed pages and analog writing.
The fixed-width spacing combined with softened serifs produces a distinctive texture in paragraphs, where the cadence feels steady but not rigid. The numerals share the same inked, rounded detailing, reinforcing a cohesive, old-school typed character.
