A monoline slab-serif design with typewriter-like construction and sturdy, squarish proportions. Strokes stay even with minimal contrast, ending in blunt, slightly rounded terminals that read as inked or stamped rather than sharply carved. Serifs are short and blocky with softened edges, and curves are generously rounded, giving counters an open, friendly feel. Overall spacing and rhythm are consistent and mechanical, with a subtly uneven, print-worn finish visible in the way edges soften and swell.
Works well for body copy and captions when a typed, document-driven voice is desired, especially in editorial layouts, worksheets, and instructions. It also suits labels, packaging callouts, and interface-like readouts where consistent character width and a mechanical rhythm help with alignment and scanning.
The font conveys an analog, office-and-paper tone that feels archival and practical, with a mild handmade roughness that keeps it from feeling sterile. It reads as dependable and straightforward, while the softened shapes add a gentle quirkiness reminiscent of old documents, labels, and typed notes.
The design appears intended to emulate the pragmatic feel of mechanical typing while keeping letterforms sturdy and highly legible. Softened terminals and an inked texture suggest a deliberate attempt to add warmth and age, making it suitable for projects that want a believable “printed/typed” atmosphere rather than a pristine digital mono.
Uppercase forms are compact and sturdy, while lowercase shows classic typewriter cues such as a single-storey “a” and simple, functional joins. Numerals are clear and robust, designed to stand up in dense lines of text without delicate details. The overall texture becomes pleasantly grainy in paragraph settings, emphasizing a period, document-like color.
