A monospaced roman with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and gently rounded, slab-like serifs. The letterforms show softened corners and slightly irregular, inked-looking terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming distressed. Counters are fairly open for a typewriter style, with compact proportions and a steady vertical stance; curves tend toward oval shapes and joins are blunt and mechanical. Overall spacing is even and cell-like, producing a consistent, rhythmic line in running text.
Works well anywhere a monospaced, typewritten texture is desirable: code snippets, terminal-style UI, scripts and screenplay layouts, forms, labeling systems, and retro-inspired packaging or editorial callouts. It can also serve as a secondary voice in branding to introduce a credible, archival note.
The tone is practical and documentary, evoking typed manuscripts, office memos, and archival paperwork. Its softened edges add a friendly, worn-in character that feels analog and human rather than purely technical.
The design appears aimed at capturing the familiar look of typewritten output while smoothing it into a dependable, broadly readable text face. It balances strict monospaced structure with subtle softening and ink-like irregularity to keep long passages from feeling overly rigid.
Numbers and capitals carry the same sturdy, stamped impression, helping maintain uniform color across mixed alphanumeric strings. The design’s rounded slab treatment keeps it readable while preserving a distinctly mechanical cadence.
