A slanted slab-serif design with crisp, square-cut serifs and a steady, mechanical rhythm. Strokes stay relatively even throughout, with clean joins and firm horizontal terminals that read as flat and structured rather than calligraphic. The letterforms feel roomy and stable, with open counters and straightforward geometry; rounded shapes (like O and C) remain smooth while still ending in decisive slab details. Numerals and capitals share the same disciplined, consistent build, reinforcing a utilitarian, set-on-a-grid feel.
Well suited to settings that benefit from strict alignment and a dependable, typed texture—code snippets, tables, forms, and technical documentation. It also performs convincingly in editorial pull quotes, short paragraphs, and captions where a retro typewriter voice is desired without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone is classic and workmanlike, evoking typed copy, drafts, and editorial markup. Its slant adds a brisk, dynamic cadence while the slab details keep it grounded and matter-of-fact. The result feels both nostalgic and functional—more newsroom than boutique.
This design appears intended to deliver a typewriter-like, grid-consistent reading experience while adding character through slab serifs and a purposeful slant. The emphasis is on regularity and legibility, with enough personality for branded editorial or documentation contexts.
The sample text shows a uniform horizontal spacing and an even texture across lines, producing a predictable, neatly striped color on the page. The italic angle is consistent across upper- and lowercase, and the slab terminals remain prominent even at text sizes, helping maintain clarity and structure.
