A monolinear slab-serif design with generous, even widths and steady mechanical spacing. Strokes are low-contrast and slightly softened, with rounded corners and subtly uneven contours that suggest ink spread or worn metal type. Serifs read as blunt, bracketless slabs, and many terminals end with gentle bulb-like rounding rather than sharp cuts. Overall proportions are open and readable, with sturdy stems, simple bowl construction, and a consistent, steady rhythm across letters and figures.
Well-suited to editorial pull quotes, book covers, title treatments, and packaging or labeling where a typed/documentary voice is desired. The even spacing and sturdy shapes also work for captions, credits, and short UI strings when a retro, utilitarian tone fits the project.
The font conveys an analog, human-mechanical feel—practical and straightforward, but with a gentle patina that reads as lived-in. Its tone recalls paperwork, drafts, and stamped or typed notes, bringing a nostalgic, archival character without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to emulate the visual logic of typewritten output while adding a softened, slightly worn finish for warmth and authenticity. It prioritizes consistent rhythm and clear silhouettes, aiming for a dependable text voice with an unmistakably analog edge.
The sample text shows crisp baseline discipline and an intentionally imperfect edge quality that adds texture at display and text sizes. Numerals and capitals appear sturdy and plainspoken, reinforcing a functional, document-oriented personality.
