A monospaced slab-serif design with compact, sturdy letterforms and softened corners throughout. Strokes are low-contrast and slightly irregular in edge quality, giving the impression of ink spread or lightly worn type. Serifs are blunt and rounded, with ball-like terminals appearing on several forms and a generally friendly, cushioned geometry. Counters are fairly open for a typewriter-like rhythm, while joins and curves show subtle wobble that keeps the texture lively in continuous text.
Well-suited to designs that want an authentic typewritten feel: pull quotes, editorial callouts, captions, and headings that benefit from a steady fixed-width rhythm. It also works for packaging, tags, and signage where a vintage office or workshop character is desired, and for playful posters that want a structured but not sterile texture.
The overall tone feels retro and practical, like paperwork, labels, and correspondence produced on older mechanical equipment. Its slight roughness and rounded serifs add a human, tactile warmth that reads as approachable rather than strictly technical. The consistent fixed-width cadence reinforces an orderly, archival mood with a hint of charm.
The design appears intended to evoke mechanical type output while softening it with rounded slab serifs and mild wear, balancing nostalgia with readability. Its consistent spacing and sturdy silhouettes suggest use in settings where an orderly, documentary look is part of the aesthetic.
Numerals and capitals maintain a strong, even presence, and the set keeps a consistent baseline and spacing that produces a steady, column-friendly color. The unevenness is restrained—more like gentle wear than heavy distress—so the face stays legible while still signaling an analog origin.
