A monoline slab-serif design with typewriter-like, cell-based rhythm and evenly spaced characters. Strokes are sturdy and blunt, with gently rounded corners and small bracketed slab terminals that read as slightly inked-in rather than razor crisp. Curves are compact and somewhat squared-off, and the joins and terminals show subtle irregularities that create a lightly worn, stamped texture. Counters are open and simple, keeping the overall color dark but readable in continuous text.
Well suited to designs that want a typed-document feel: headings and pull quotes with a period vibe, UI labels that benefit from fixed spacing, and packaging or signage where a mechanical, utilitarian voice fits. It also works for body copy when a textured, typewritten tone is desired without sacrificing basic clarity.
The font conveys an analog, archival tone—practical and documentary, with a hint of age and mechanical imprint. Its slightly roughened edges and softened slabs suggest typed pages, forms, and records, giving it a dependable but lived-in character.
Likely drawn to capture the steady cadence of monospaced typing while adding subtle organic imperfections—softened slabs and slightly uneven contours—to mimic ink spread and wear. The goal appears to be a reliable, familiar reading rhythm with a convincingly analog surface.
The uppercase and numerals feel especially sturdy and sign-like, while the lowercase retains clear distinctions for reading in longer passages. The overall texture is consistent across the set, producing a coherent “impression” look without heavy distress that would dominate the page.
