A monospaced serif with typewriter-like construction and subtly irregular contours. Strokes show gentle modulation and slightly softened corners, with small bracketed, slab-like serifs that flare into rounded terminals. The rhythm is steady and mechanical, but the outlines carry a lightly inked, imperfect edge that keeps the forms from feeling purely geometric. Counters are open and the overall proportions are compact and pragmatic, supporting consistent spacing across letters and numerals.
Well suited for designs that want the recognizable cadence of monospaced type: manuscript-style layouts, credits and title cards, faux-typed notes, and packaging or labels that benefit from an archival or documentary feel. It can also work for short editorial bursts—pull quotes, headings, and captions—where a typed texture adds character without sacrificing legibility.
The font conveys an analog, workmanlike tone—evoking typed manuscripts, forms, and archival documents. Its mild roughness and softened serifs add a human, lived-in feel while maintaining a straightforward, utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to mimic the look of mechanical typing with a hint of ink spread and wear, balancing consistent spacing with organic imperfections. It aims to deliver a familiar, document-like voice that reads cleanly while signaling an analog process.
The figures follow the same typed texture as the letters, with simple, readable forms and the same softened terminals. In text, the consistent advance width creates a clear grid-like cadence, while the slight irregularity prevents large blocks from feeling sterile.
