A monospaced slab-serif design with sturdy, compact letterforms and soft, rounded corners. Strokes are largely even, with subtly blunted terminals and slight edge roughness that reads like ink spread or light wear. Counters are open and simple, and the glyphs keep a consistent rhythm and set width, producing a steady, typewritten texture in lines of text.
It works well wherever a typewritten or archival feel is desired: notes, labels, and packaging, as well as posters and headings that benefit from an analog stamp. In longer passages it maintains a consistent rhythm and legibility, especially when the slight wear is used as a deliberate texture rather than a purely neutral body face.
The font conveys an analog, workmanlike character—practical and matter-of-fact, yet warmly nostalgic. Its slightly distressed edges add a tactile, lived-in tone that suggests paper, ribbon, and mechanical imprint rather than pristine digital output.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of mechanical typing with a touch of imperfection, balancing reliable, evenly built letterforms with subtle roughness to evoke physical imprint and age.
Uppercase forms are assertive and blocky, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable skeleton with minimal flourish. Numerals follow the same sturdy construction, helping mixed text feel uniform and consistent in color.
