A monoline slab-serif design with compact proportions and a steady, cell-like rhythm. Strokes are evenly weighted with subtly rounded corners and slightly softened joins, creating the impression of inked impressions rather than crisp digital outlines. Serifs are short and sturdy, often with gently bulbous or bracketed endings, and curves (notably in O, C, and G) show mild organic irregularities that read as mechanical wear. The lowercase is simple and readable, with a single-storey a and g and a straightforward, narrow-shouldered r; figures are plain, open forms with a typewritten steadiness.
Well suited to editorial pull quotes, captions, and interface-like labeling where a typewritten texture is desired. It also works for packaging, posters, and title treatments that benefit from a retro-document feel, and for short-to-medium reading where consistent spacing and steady color are important.
The font conveys a practical, archival tone—evoking typed documents, library cards, and workshop labels. Its slight roughness and softened edges add warmth and familiarity, keeping the voice human and a little imperfect rather than strictly technical.
Likely intended to replicate the look of typed output with a softened, slightly worn imprint, balancing legibility with character. The design focuses on consistent rhythm and sturdy slab details to keep the texture stable across both display and text settings.
Spacing and rhythm emphasize uniformity, while the subtle edge variation prevents the texture from feeling sterile. Punctuation and numerals keep the same blunt, workmanlike construction, supporting long passages without drawing attention to individual quirks.
