A monospaced, slightly right-slanted serif design with softly bracketed slab-like feet and rounded, inked terminals. Strokes stay fairly even, with subtle swelling and taper that suggests imperfect impression and minor edge wear rather than crisp geometric drawing. The forms are open and readable, with a steady rhythm from consistent character widths and generous sidebearings typical of fixed-pitch setting. Uppercase and lowercase share a cohesive, gently irregular texture that feels mechanical yet humanized, with curved joins and softened corners throughout.
Well suited for designs that need a believable typewritten feel: book or zine interiors, editorial pull quotes, captions, and short passages where a monospaced rhythm is desired. It also works effectively for retro-themed packaging, signage, and posters where a lightly worn, mechanical texture can add atmosphere without sacrificing legibility.
The overall tone is retro and practical, evoking typed pages, receipts, and workshop notes rather than polished corporate typography. Its mild irregularities and softened finishing give it a friendly, lived-in character that reads as authentic and informal. The slant adds a touch of motion and personality while staying firmly in the realm of utilitarian text.
The font appears designed to replicate the visual cadence of a classic typewriter while softening the mechanical look with rounded serifs and subtly imperfect edges. The aim seems to be an approachable, period-evocative text face that can carry longer samples comfortably while still signaling “typed” character at a glance.
Numerals and punctuation match the same softened, slightly distressed impression, maintaining an even color in paragraphs. The design balances typewriter rigidity (fixed spacing and consistent proportions) with small organic variations that reduce starkness and add texture at display and text sizes.
