A monospaced slab-serif design with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and softly rounded terminals that feel slightly inked-in rather than perfectly geometric. The letterforms sit upright with broad proportions and generous internal counters, producing an open, even texture across lines. Serifs are blunt and compact, with subtle irregularities at joins and ends that suggest printed impact and mild wear rather than crisp digital precision. Numerals and capitals maintain consistent width and alignment, reinforcing a steady, gridlike rhythm.
Well suited to typewriter-coded applications such as screenplays, forms, and tabular or code-like layouts where fixed character widths matter. The mild worn texture also makes it a good fit for labels, packaging, and editorial callouts that want a documentary or archival feel without sacrificing legibility.
The overall tone is practical and matter-of-fact, with an unmistakable analog character that reads as mechanical and a bit lived-in. It evokes paperwork, labels, and typed notes—functional communication with a hint of nostalgia and human imperfection.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of typed output: consistent character widths, sturdy slab-serifs, and slight impression-like irregularities that mimic ink spread and mechanical strike. It prioritizes clear, evenly paced reading while adding just enough texture to signal an analog, utilitarian origin.
Spacing and sidebearings are consistent, giving text a strong vertical cadence; the slightly softened corners help prevent the design from feeling harsh at larger sizes. The distressed effect is restrained, so it stays readable while still communicating a tactile, printed quality.
