A monospaced slab-serif design with compact, boxy letterforms and sturdy verticals. Strokes stay broadly even, with blunt, slightly rounded terminals and small bracket-like joins that echo mechanical imprinting. The outlines show subtle irregularities—soft corners, minor wobble, and occasional ink spread—creating a lightly worn, stamped texture. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is steady and grid-friendly, producing a consistent typewriter cadence across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to short-to-medium passages where a typewritten texture is desired, such as notes, forms, labels, and instructional matter. It also works effectively for captions, UI-style listings, and code-like layouts where fixed character width supports alignment and tabular rhythm. The slightly worn edges make it particularly fitting for retro-themed editorial accents and props-style typography.
The font conveys a practical, workmanlike tone with a retro office feel. Its slightly distressed imprint suggests physical typing, carbon copies, and utilitarian documentation, adding a touch of grit without becoming overtly decorative. The overall voice is direct and readable, with a faintly nostalgic, analog character.
The design appears intended to emulate the look of mechanically printed type with a lightly imperfect ink impression. It prioritizes consistent spacing and predictable alignment while adding subtle surface wear to suggest analog production and everyday utility.
Capitals are broad and stable with pronounced slab feet, while the lowercase keeps a simple, mechanical construction that maintains a uniform beat in text. Numerals share the same stamped texture and straightforward forms, helping the set feel cohesive in mixed alphanumeric content.
