A monospaced serif design with wide set letterforms and a steady, mechanical rhythm. Strokes stay largely uniform, with subtly rounded shoulders and softly flared, slab-like serifs that feel more pressed than sharply cut. Terminals show slight irregularity and ink-like swelling, giving the outlines a gently worn, printed character while keeping forms clear and consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to passages where a typewritten voice is desired, such as editorial sidebars, notes, captions, and product descriptions. It also fits UI-like contexts that benefit from fixed-width alignment—tables, forms, code-inspired layouts, and labeling—while retaining a personable, document-oriented look.
The overall tone is practical and familiar, evoking typed notes, forms, and archival documents. Its mild roughness and softened edges add warmth and approachability without becoming overtly decorative, balancing a documentary feel with casual charm.
The design appears intended to recreate the visual logic of classic typing: fixed character widths, sturdy serifs, and a subtly imperfect imprint that suggests impact printing. It aims to deliver dependable readability with an understated retro texture for thematic and documentary styling.
Uppercase shapes lean on classic typewriter conventions, while lowercase maintains readable, open construction with clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals are straightforward and highly legible, with the same soft, stamped finish seen throughout, helping the font retain an analog, paper-and-ink impression in running text.
