A monospaced serif with sturdy slab-like terminals and softly rounded corners that keep the shapes friendly rather than sharp. Strokes are even and low-contrast, with slightly bulbous joins and subtly imperfect curves that suggest ink spread or lightly worn type. The rhythm is steady and mechanical, with compact bowls and straightforward construction across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a consistent, typewritten texture in paragraphs.
It suits typewriter-coded work such as scripts, notes, forms, and captions where a monospaced rhythm is desirable. The inky, rounded details also make it effective for retro packaging cues, headings, and poster text that wants a mechanical-but-human feel without heavy distress.
The overall tone feels vintage and practical, like text produced on a well-used machine. It conveys a documentary, archival mood—matter-of-fact and readable—with a hint of nostalgia from the softened edges and gently irregular contours.
The design appears intended to emulate a classic typewritten voice while staying clean and dependable in longer passages. Its softened corners and mildly imperfect curves add warmth and authenticity without sacrificing the structured, systematic spacing typical of monospaced forms.
The serifs read as blunt and functional, helping letters sit firmly on the baseline. Counters remain open enough for continuous reading, while the slightly inky shapes add character that becomes more apparent at larger sizes.
