A sturdy monospaced slab-serif design with compact proportions, low stroke contrast, and blunt, rounded terminals. The letterforms show typewriter-like mechanics: squared serifs, slightly softened corners, and subtly irregular edge shapes that read as ink spread or light wear. Counters are open and simple, with a steady, even rhythm and consistent set width across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Well suited for headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium blocks of text where a typed, documentary voice is desired. It can work effectively for packaging, product labels, signage, and poster-style compositions that benefit from a retro, utilitarian texture while remaining readable at moderate sizes.
The overall tone feels archival and practical, evoking documents, labels, and typed notes with a lightly weathered texture. It communicates straightforwardness and reliability, with a hint of vintage charm rather than pristine modern precision.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of mechanical typing with solid slabs and a lightly worn imprint, balancing legibility with a period-evocative texture. Its consistent spacing and sturdy forms aim to deliver an authentic, document-like rhythm across a wide range of copy.
Capitals appear broad and stable, while the lowercase keeps a clear, legible structure suited to continuous text. Numerals share the same sturdy slab treatment and maintain an even, mechanical cadence that reinforces the typed aesthetic.
