A monospaced, typewriter-like design with soft, bracketed slab serifs and gently rounded corners throughout. Strokes stay fairly even, but edges show slight waviness and subtle blobbing that suggests ink spread or worn metal type, especially at joins and terminals. Counters are open and simple, with compact, sturdy letterforms and a steady, mechanical rhythm; curves are slightly squarish and punctuation follows the same sturdy, blunt-ended construction.
Well-suited for typewriter emulation in titles, pull quotes, captions, and UI moments that need a fixed-pitch look. It also works effectively in retro-themed posters, labels, and packaging where the slightly worn, printed texture can carry the visual identity. For longer passages, it reads most comfortably at moderate sizes where the roughness supports atmosphere without overpowering the text.
The overall tone feels analog and workmanlike, like text produced on a well-used machine. Its slight irregularity adds warmth and personality, giving it a lived-in, archival character rather than a pristine digital finish.
The design appears intended to capture the disciplined spacing and sturdy construction of typewritten text while introducing a lightly distressed, inked texture. Its goal seems to balance mechanical consistency with a human, imperfect imprint that evokes printed artifacts and everyday documentation.
Figures and lowercase forms maintain consistent set width, reinforcing the disciplined grid-like cadence typical of fixed-pitch typography. The texture-like edge behavior becomes more noticeable at larger sizes, where the imperfect inking reads as intentional character.
