A monospaced serif with gently slanted letterforms, rounded bracket-like serifs, and softened terminals that feel slightly inked rather than sharply machined. Strokes stay fairly even while curves and joins show subtle irregularity, giving the outlines a lightly worn, printed impression. Proportions are open and readable, with generous counters, a relaxed rhythm, and a consistent cell-to-cell spacing typical of fixed-width designs.
Well-suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where a typewriter-flavored voice is desired, such as book covers, posters, menus, packaging, and editorial pull quotes. It can also work for interface-like layouts or code-themed graphics where a fixed-width structure is useful, provided the goal is character and warmth rather than strict neutrality.
The overall tone evokes a lived-in, analog feel—friendly and human rather than strictly technical. Its mild roughness and buoyant shapes suggest nostalgia and personality, balancing legibility with a touch of whimsy.
The design appears intended to capture a typewritten, ink-on-paper personality with consistent fixed-width spacing, softened serif details, and a slightly imperfect imprint. It aims to feel approachable and expressive while maintaining dependable alignment and clear letterforms.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and straightforward, while lowercase shapes lean more conversational, with rounded shoulders and flowing curves. Numerals follow the same softened construction, integrating smoothly with text and preserving the font’s steady, typewritten cadence.
