A monospaced slab-serif design with broad proportions and compact, sturdy letterforms. Strokes are generally even and low-contrast, with chunky bracketed serifs and softened, slightly irregular terminals that suggest ink spread or worn type. Curves are round and open, counters are generous, and the overall rhythm is steady and mechanical while still feeling humanized by subtle wobble in joins and edges.
Works well where a believable typewritten or document-like texture is desired—notes, labels, captions, and short paragraphs that benefit from an analog feel. It can also add character to posters, packaging, and brand applications that lean vintage or handcrafted, especially when paired with simple layouts and ample leading.
The tone reads nostalgic and utilitarian, like practical text set on paper rather than a pristine digital face. Its mild roughness and friendly shapes add a casual, handmade edge that feels informal and approachable rather than strict or technical.
Likely designed to capture the dependable structure of monospaced type with the visual warmth of imperfect printing. The goal appears to be a readable, everyday text face that communicates age, authenticity, and tactile presence without heavy distress.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent footprint and spacing, reinforcing a typewriter-like cadence. Numerals are sturdy and simple, matching the same blunt serif vocabulary and slightly distressed edge behavior seen across the alphabet.
