A monospaced slab-serif design with generous letter widths and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. The forms show rounded terminals and slightly irregular edges that resemble ink spread or lightly worn type, giving the outlines a subtly softened, organic finish. Serifs are blocky and compact, counters are open, and curves are broad, producing an even, mechanical rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals while still feeling imperfectly stamped rather than crisply drawn.
Works well where a typewritten, archival feel is desired—headlines, short paragraphs, captions, and pull quotes in editorial or poster contexts. It also suits packaging, café menus, craft branding, and interface or game UI elements that benefit from a monospaced, document-like aesthetic with a touch of wear.
The overall tone is nostalgic and analog, evoking typed documents, labels, and printed ephemera. Its mild roughness reads as human and practical rather than pristine, balancing a utilitarian voice with a friendly, characterful presence.
The design appears intended to capture the look of mechanical typing with slightly imperfect impressions, combining monospaced discipline with softened, inked contours. It prioritizes a recognizable typewriter voice and consistent rhythm while adding enough texture to feel lived-in and expressive.
Capitals sit with a steady, upright posture and consistent spacing typical of fixed-width designs, while the lowercase maintains clear silhouettes and sturdy joins. Numerals match the same slab-and-softened treatment, reinforcing a cohesive, typewritten texture in longer text lines.
