A slanted slab-serif design with a steady, typewriter-like rhythm and visibly even character widths across the set. Strokes are largely uniform in thickness with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as sturdy, squared slabs that often show slight bracketing at joins. Letterforms favor open apertures and generous interior space, giving the face an airy color despite the firm serif structure. Numerals echo the same upright geometry and clean, consistent terminals, keeping texture regular in running lines.
Well suited for typewriter-inspired layouts, editorial callouts, and quotation styling where a disciplined, monospaced cadence is desirable. It can also work in UI contexts like code samples or tabular text where predictable character widths help alignment, while the slab serifs provide a more traditional, print-forward feel than a plain sans.
The overall tone feels literary and utilitarian at once: classic and bookish, but with a mechanical, typed immediacy. The italic slant adds motion and emphasis while still maintaining a composed, professional voice that suggests notes, drafts, and editorial markup.
The design appears intended to blend the practicality of fixed-width text with a more classical slab-serif finish, offering a typed look that remains readable and composed in continuous copy. The slant suggests an emphasis or annotation role—expressive enough for voice, yet structured enough for systematic setting.
In text, spacing remains notably consistent from character to character, producing straight edges and an orderly cadence. The combination of pronounced slabs and the angled stance gives emphasis without needing heavier stroke weight, and helps the face hold its shape in longer passages.
