This typeface has compact, tightly set proportions with monoline strokes and sturdy slab-like serifs that end in rounded, ball-like terminals. Curves are smoothly drawn and slightly squarish in places, giving counters a neat, controlled feel. The overall rhythm is steady and mechanical, with clear, open apertures and a straightforward, no-nonsense construction that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
It works well anywhere a typewriter-inspired voice is desired: editorial subheads, captions, pull quotes, and short-to-medium text blocks. The condensed footprint suits labels, instructions, packaging copy, and posters where space is tight but a characterful, legible texture is needed.
The rounded slab detailing and narrow stance evoke a classic typewriter and mid-century utilitarian tone—practical, a little nostalgic, and lightly quirky rather than formal. It reads as friendly and approachable while still feeling structured and editorial.
The design appears intended to combine a typewriter-like, functional skeleton with softened slab terminals for warmth and personality, producing a compact face that stays readable while adding a distinctive retro imprint.
The ball-terminal slabs create distinct “inked” endpoints that remain visible even at smaller sizes, while the narrow width encourages dense setting and an efficient texture in paragraphs. The numerals match the same sturdy, monoline logic and feel designed to blend seamlessly in running text.
