A monospaced slab-serif design with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and broad proportions. Terminals are blunt and softly rounded, with slightly irregular edges that mimic ink spread or worn type. Counters are open and clear, and the overall rhythm is even and mechanical, with consistent character widths and stable, upright forms.
It works well for body text and captions where a typed, document-forward voice is desirable, including editorial layouts, scripts, notes, and form-like UI treatments. The even spacing and strong letterforms also suit headings or pull quotes when a typewritten aesthetic is intended.
The font conveys a vintage, utilitarian tone associated with typed documents and practical communication. Its subtle roughness adds a human, tactile quality without becoming overly decorative, suggesting authenticity and a mildly archival feel.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of mechanical typing with a controlled, slightly worn imprint. It prioritizes consistent spacing and legibility while introducing enough surface irregularity to feel physical and lived-in.
The texture reads as deliberate and consistent across letters and numerals, giving long passages a lightly mottled color on the page. Numerals follow the same sturdy, slabbed construction, keeping a cohesive, document-like voice across mixed text.
