A monoline slab-serif design with a clearly typewriter-like rhythm and consistent character widths. Strokes are relatively even and lightly built, with sturdy bracketed slabs that read as slightly softened rather than sharply cut. Curves and joins show a subtly irregular, inked edge that gives the outlines a gently worn, printed feel, while maintaining clear, open counters and straightforward proportions. The lowercase forms are simple and legible, with a single-storey a and g and a compact, practical overall drawing that stays consistent across letters and figures.
Well suited to settings that benefit from a steady, measured cadence such as code samples, tabular or form-like layouts, captions, and compact editorial text. It also works effectively when a typewriter or document aesthetic is desired for titles, pull quotes, or packaging copy where a hint of printed texture adds character without sacrificing clarity.
The tone feels archival and utilitarian, like text produced by a mechanical or stamped process rather than a pristine digital face. Its mild roughness and sturdy slabs add a quiet vintage character, suggesting documents, notes, and everyday editorial material with a human, imperfect touch.
The design appears intended to combine the practicality of fixed-width letterforms with sturdy slab serifs and a subtly imperfect print texture. It aims for dependable readability and a familiar, documentary voice rather than a polished display presence.
Numerals are rounded and approachable, matching the letterforms’ softened slabs and even stroke weight. Spacing and alignment emphasize a steady, grid-like cadence, and the overall texture remains uniform across long lines of text without dramatic dark spots.
