A monospaced serif with slab-like, rounded terminals and a softly blunted, inked look. Strokes are mostly even with minimal contrast, and many joins and corners are slightly softened, giving the letters a gentle, worn texture rather than a crisp geometric finish. Proportions are compact and utilitarian, with open counters and simple, sturdy construction that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
It works well where fixed-width alignment is useful—such as code samples, tables, UI labels, and technical readouts—while also lending character to editorial pull quotes and short-to-medium passages. The distinctive typewriter flavor suits posters, packaging, and branding that want a retro, tactile feel without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and nostalgic, mixing practical legibility with a personable, slightly imperfect charm. Its rounded slabs and subtle roughness read as approachable and human, evoking editorial and analog contexts rather than sleek corporate precision.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable monospaced rhythm with a warmer, more approachable voice than a purely mechanical typewriter face. By combining sturdy slab serifs with rounded finishing and a lightly inked texture, it aims to feel both functional and characterful in everyday display and text settings.
Serifs tend to appear as short, rounded slabs that help anchor the baseline and add rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals maintain a steady, mechanical cadence, while small idiosyncrasies (like softened curves and uneven-looking edges) contribute to a lightly distressed, printed character.
