A monoline slab serif with unbracketed, square-ended serifs and a gently squared overall construction. Strokes maintain an even weight, with slightly rounded outer corners that soften the otherwise mechanical geometry. Proportions read narrow-to-moderate with generous counters and clear separation between stems, while spacing feels deliberate and consistent in running text. The lowercase shows simple, workmanlike forms (single-storey a and g), and the figures are straightforward and tabular-looking in presence, with squared curves and flat terminals.
Well-suited to technical documentation, UI labels, and information-dense layouts where a steady, structured texture helps scanning. The typewriter-leaning voice also fits retro-inspired packaging, instruction sheets, and editorial sidebars that benefit from a utilitarian, archival character.
The tone is pragmatic and matter-of-fact, evoking typewriter and early industrial signage aesthetics. Its clean, regular rhythm and squared detailing lend a technical, archival feel that reads as calm and functional rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to merge a typewriter-like regularity with slab-serif sturdiness, prioritizing consistent rhythm and clear letterforms. Its squared serifs and restrained detailing suggest an emphasis on dependable readability and a technical, industrial mood.
Notable traits include squared bowls and terminals on rounded characters (C, G, O, Q), a compact, engineered-looking uppercase, and a crisp serif treatment that stays consistent across letters and numerals. In the sample text, the face maintains a steady texture with minimal sparkle, emphasizing clarity and uniformity over contrast-driven elegance.
