A heavy, slabby monoline design with soft, rounded corners and broad, blunt terminals. The letterforms sit on a steady, even rhythm with consistent widths and straightforward construction, while small irregularities and swelling at joins give an inked, slightly worn impression. Counters are compact but open enough to read cleanly, and the numerals match the same sturdy, simplified geometry.
Best suited to display settings where you want a bold, mechanical flavor without a sterile feel—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and book-cover titling. It can also work for short UI or editorial callouts when you want a distinctly typed, characterful voice, though its heavy forms will feel dense in long text.
The overall tone feels retro and workmanlike, like stamped or typed text with a friendly rough edge. It reads as practical and dependable, but the rounded slabs and slightly lumpy outlines add a casual, approachable character.
The design appears intended to evoke typewritten output with sturdier, more graphic presence, combining monospaced regularity with softened slabs and subtle roughness for personality. It aims for strong legibility at larger sizes while communicating an intentionally analog, imperfect texture.
Serif blocks are prominent and rounded rather than sharp, creating a softer “typed” footprint. The texture stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping mixed-case text maintain an even color.
