A slanted slab-serif design with sturdy, square-ended terminals and broadly proportioned letterforms. Strokes stay fairly even, with gentle modulation and rounded joins that keep the texture from feeling rigid. The lowercase shows a generous x-height and open counters, while the capitals are wide and steady with clear slab feet and tops. Curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth and slightly softened, and details like the angled cross-strokes and compact brackets create a consistent, typewriter-adjacent rhythm across letters and figures.
It performs well in dense paragraphs where a steady rhythm and sturdy serifs help guide the eye, making it suitable for book interiors, magazines, and essays. The slanted, monospaced feel also suits typewriter-inspired layouts, captions, and retro-flavored posters or packaging where a documentary voice is desired.
The overall tone mixes utilitarian clarity with a warm, old-school print character. It reads as slightly mechanical yet personable—suggesting correspondence, editorial markup, or vintage documentation rather than a slick corporate voice.
This font appears designed to combine the dependable structure of a slab-serif with an italic, writerly motion, balancing legibility with a distinctive, archival tone. The wide proportions and consistent spacing emphasize an orderly texture, while softened curves and brackets keep it approachable in continuous reading.
The set maintains consistent horizontal spacing and a steady row-by-row cadence, producing an orderly, grid-friendly color. Numerals are robust and legible, with simple forms that match the letterweight and serif treatment, supporting continuous reading in mixed text.
