A monospaced serif design with sturdy slab-like feet and gently rounded corners that soften the otherwise mechanical structure. Strokes are largely even, with small, bracket-like joins and subtly bulbous terminals that give characters a slightly inked, stamped impression. Curves are broad and open, counters are clear, and the overall rhythm is steady and grid-friendly, with consistent character widths across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
It suits text that benefits from a disciplined, fixed-width rhythm such as screenplays, drafts, technical notes, tables, and form-like layouts. The strong serifs and clear counters also make it effective for short blocks of copy in posters or editorial sidebars where a typewritten voice is desired.
The font conveys an analog, typewritten tone—practical and archival, with a hint of mid‑century nostalgia. Its even cadence and blunt serifs read as functional and documentary rather than decorative, suggesting forms produced by machinery and ink on paper.
The design appears intended to evoke the look of mechanical typing while remaining clean and consistent for modern setting. By combining monospaced spacing with softened slabs and ink-like terminals, it aims to deliver a credible typewriter texture without sacrificing clarity.
Lowercase forms keep a straightforward, legible construction, while the numerals maintain a classic typewriter feel with simple silhouettes and sturdy bases. The overall texture is slightly softened by rounded edges and mild irregularity in terminal shapes, which helps it feel less clinical than a purely geometric monospace.
