A monospaced, typewriter-like serif with wide set proportions and a sturdy, low-contrast stroke. Terminals are blunt and slightly flared, with small slab-like feet and soft corners that suggest ink spread or worn type. Outlines show gentle irregularity and texture, creating a lightly distressed rhythm while keeping counters open and letterforms clearly structured. Numerals and capitals maintain an even, mechanical width with subtly uneven edges that add character without collapsing readability.
Well-suited to designs that benefit from a convincing typewritten voice, such as period-themed graphics, faux documentation, labels, and editorial callouts. It can also work in short-to-medium text settings where a monospaced, slightly distressed texture helps establish atmosphere while staying legible.
The overall tone feels archival and analog—evoking typed documents, receipts, and old correspondence. Its slight roughness adds a tactile, lived-in quality that reads as honest and utilitarian rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture the mechanical regularity of monospaced typing while introducing subtle wear and ink variation for authenticity. It balances structured, dependable letter construction with enough roughness to suggest age, process, and physical impression.
The texture appears consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving long passages a cohesive, lightly weathered color. Spacing remains uniform and disciplined, while the softened serifs and uneven edges prevent the page from feeling overly rigid.
