A monospaced, typewriter-like serif with wide, blocky letterforms and slightly softened corners. Strokes are low-contrast and sturdy, with blunt slab-like feet and tops that feel stamped rather than drawn. The outlines show subtle wobble and unevenness—suggestive of ink spread, worn metal type, or imperfect strike—creating dark, compact counters and a textured rhythm across lines. Overall proportions read open and readable, with a straightforward upright posture and a consistent mechanical spacing.
Well-suited to typewriter-styled layouts where consistent alignment matters, such as scripts, tables, forms, captions, and technical notes. It also works effectively for branding accents, labels, and packaging that want an archival or utilitarian flavor, as well as posters and headlines that benefit from a bold stamped texture.
The tone is retro and workmanlike, evoking paperwork, reports, and mid-century office ephemera. Its slight roughness adds a human, tactile edge that can feel noir, archival, or DIY without becoming overly distressed. The overall impression is matter-of-fact and dependable, with just enough irregularity to feel lived-in.
The design appears intended to capture the look of mechanical typing with slightly imperfect ink and wear, while keeping letterforms sturdy and broadly legible. It prioritizes consistent spacing and a stamped, slab-serif presence to deliver an authentic, analog texture in both short and longer settings.
In text, the even character width creates a steady cadence and clear column alignment, while the softened, slightly irregular contours prevent the page from feeling too sterile. Heavier joins and small apertures can make dense paragraphs feel dark at very small sizes, but the texture becomes a feature at display and mid text sizes.
