A monolinear slab-serif design with broad proportions and a steady, typewriter-like rhythm. Strokes show subtle irregularities and softened corners, creating a lightly worn imprint effect rather than crisp digital geometry. Terminals are blunt with small, squared serifs, counters are open, and curves feel slightly flattened, reinforcing a mechanical, stamped look. Numerals and caps maintain consistent width and spacing, producing an even, grid-friendly texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited for designs that want a convincing typewritten feel: faux documents, letters, labels, and production props. It can also work for headlines and short blocks of copy in posters or editorial layouts where a rugged, analog voice is desired. The consistent width and sturdy forms make it useful for tabular or grid-aligned content where a mechanical cadence helps.
The overall tone is practical and retro, evoking paper forms, office documentation, and analog machines. The slight roughness adds a human, used quality—more archival and workmanlike than polished or luxurious. It reads as straightforward and dependable, with a hint of grit.
The font appears intended to reproduce the impression of a mechanical typewriter with mild wear—prioritizing uniform spacing and dependable structure while adding imperfect edges to suggest ink and impact on paper.
The texture becomes more apparent at display sizes, where the uneven edges and inked-in weight variations read as deliberate character. In longer text, the regular spacing and sturdy shapes keep lines stable, while the distressed touch prevents the color from feeling sterile.
