A lightly built italic slab-serif with a steady, even stroke and crisp, square-cut serifs that attach cleanly to the stems. The letterforms are relatively wide with open counters and clear, simple joins, giving an orderly rhythm and strong horizontal emphasis. Numerals and caps follow the same restrained logic, and the overall spacing reads consistent and measured, supporting a regular, line-by-line texture in text.
It suits layouts that want a typewritten or technical flavor—such as code blocks, UI labels, forms, tables, and compact editorial sidebars—where consistent rhythm and clear differentiation matter. The wide set and open shapes also help it hold up in short paragraphs, captions, and instructional text.
The tone feels typewriter-adjacent and editorial: practical, slightly nostalgic, and matter-of-fact rather than expressive. Its italic slant adds a subtle sense of motion, while the slab details keep the voice grounded and utilitarian.
The font appears intended to deliver a dependable, typewriter-inspired reading experience with an italic emphasis, pairing straightforward construction with slab-serif clarity. Its systematic proportions and consistent spacing suggest a focus on predictable texture and functional legibility across mixed text and numerals.
The design balances rigid slab terminals with softened curves, creating a clean, legible color that stays calm in paragraphs. The italic construction appears systematic rather than calligraphic, reinforcing a mechanical, structured character.
