A monospaced roman with compact slab-like serifs and gently rounded corners, giving each character a sturdy, stamped silhouette. Strokes are fairly even and slightly softened, with subtle irregularities in curves and joins that feel inked rather than perfectly geometric. Capitals are narrow and upright, while lowercase forms keep a straightforward structure with a single-storey “a” and “g” and a modestly sized x-height. Numerals are clear and simple, with slightly playful curvature in figures like 2 and 3, maintaining the same fixed-width rhythm as the letters.
Well-suited to designs that want an authentic typewritten voice, such as screenplay-style layouts, editorial callouts, annotations, and period-flavored packaging. The steady monospaced cadence also works well for tabular information, forms, or any layout where alignment and a mechanical rhythm are desirable.
The overall tone is unmistakably typewritten and archival, evoking paperwork, correspondence, and catalog cards. Minor waviness and softened terminals add a human, slightly worn character that reads as lived-in rather than sterile. It balances pragmatic legibility with a gentle quirkiness that keeps long passages from feeling rigid.
The design appears intended to emulate the look of mechanical typing with an approachable, slightly imperfect imprint. Its consistent widths and sturdy serifs prioritize orderly layout and readability while preserving the charm of printed-on-paper artifacts.
The fixed-width spacing creates a consistent vertical texture and strong alignment for columns and code-like layouts. Serifs are short and bracketed, and many terminals appear subtly blunted, contributing to a mechanical-yet-inked impression in text settings.
