A monospaced serif design with compact, typewriter-like construction and slightly irregular outlines. Strokes are moderately contrasty with blunted slab-like terminals and softly bracketed joins that keep the shapes sturdy. Curves and horizontals show subtle waviness and uneven inking, giving counters a slightly organic, imperfect edge while maintaining consistent cell-to-cell rhythm. The lowercase is straightforward and legible, with a single-storey a and g, a narrow t, and simple punctuation-like forms in the numerals.
Works well where a vintage document or typewritten voice is desired: book and zine typography, editorial callouts, packaging with heritage cues, and posters that benefit from a mechanical yet humanized texture. The strict character width also suits simple tables, labels, and UI mockups that need consistent alignment while retaining a retro feel.
The overall tone feels archival and practical, like text produced on older mechanical equipment or printed matter that’s been handled and re-inked. The mild distress and inky wobble add warmth and tactility without turning into heavy grunge, suggesting authenticity, documentation, and period flavor.
Likely intended to capture the disciplined rhythm of monospaced text while introducing subtle wear and ink spread to evoke age and physical printing. The design balances predictable spacing with a handmade edge so it can communicate a typewritten mood in both short display lines and longer passages.
Spacing is disciplined and even, supporting blocky paragraphs and aligned columns, while the irregular contouring keeps large text from feeling sterile. The capitals are broad and steady, and the figures read clearly with a classic, slightly uneven imprint character.
