A slanted, monoline-to-mildly modulated serif design with clearly typewriter-like, uniform character widths and steady sidebearings. Strokes have softened corners and subtly rough, inked edges that create a lightly distressed print texture without breaking letterforms apart. Serifs are small and bracketed, with uneven terminal shaping that reads like ink spread or worn metal type. Counters are moderately open and the overall rhythm is consistent, producing an even, mechanical cadence with a humanized surface.
Well-suited to short-to-medium passages where a typed, vintage atmosphere is desired, such as book cover titling, film/TV prop documents, editorial pull quotes, and poster or zine layouts. It can also work for UI-like labels or captions when a deliberate retro, tactile texture is part of the visual system.
The font conveys an analog, archival tone—suggesting typed correspondence, period documents, and printed ephemera. Its gentle distortion and inkiness add a moody, story-driven character that can feel investigative, literary, or slightly gritty rather than pristine or corporate.
The design appears intended to emulate monospaced typewriting with an intentionally imperfect, ink-worn finish, balancing reliable alignment and consistent spacing with a printed, tactile surface.
The italic slant is pronounced enough to add momentum while preserving the rigid, cell-by-cell spacing typical of typewriter construction. The distressed edges are consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping texture remain cohesive in longer text.
