A monospaced serif design with compact, typewriter-like construction and a slightly wide set that keeps a steady horizontal rhythm. Strokes show gentle, uneven edges and mild wobble that suggest inking or wear, with soft terminals and small, rounded slab-like serifs. Curves are open and generously rounded, while counters remain clear; overall contrast stays moderate with subtle thick–thin movement rather than sharp transitions. The figures and punctuation follow the same sturdy, imperfect texture, giving lines of text a consistent but lightly distressed color.
Well suited to designs that want a believable typed look: vintage-themed posters, packaging, book covers, or title cards. It also works for UI or graphic elements that need fixed character alignment, such as forms, labels, and screen-like readouts, especially when an analog or archival feel is desired.
The font conveys an analog, archival tone—practical and matter-of-fact, yet warmed by slight imperfections. Its worn edges and steady spacing evoke typed documents, receipts, and drafts, creating a sense of authenticity and human handling rather than sterile precision.
The design appears intended to recreate the character of mechanical typing with a controlled, fixed-width structure, then soften it with subtle wear and inky irregularity for a more lived-in result. The goal reads as legibility-first utility paired with period flavor and tactile texture.
The texture appears baked into the letterforms rather than applied as an external effect, with small variations along stems, joins, and serifs. In paragraph settings the monospaced spacing produces a regular cadence, while the irregular edges add visual noise that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes.
