A monoline, slab‑serif design with broad proportions and a steady, typewriter-like rhythm. Strokes end in blunt, slightly flared terminals with subtly rounded corners, giving the outlines a lightly inked, imperfect edge rather than crisp geometry. Counters are open and straightforward, with compact joins and minimal modulation, producing an even color in text. Figures and capitals share the same sturdy, no‑nonsense construction, and the overall spacing feels consistent and grid-friendly.
Works well wherever a typed, documentary feel is desired: UI mockups that mimic paperwork, product tags and packaging copy, editorial pull quotes, captions, and short-to-medium passages that benefit from a mechanical, monospaced cadence. It also suits posters and titles when you want a vintage office or newsroom flavor without heavy ornament.
The font conveys a practical, archival tone—like typed notes, labels, and forms—tempered by a gently worn, humanized texture. It reads as straightforward and functional, with a hint of nostalgia and analog grit.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of mechanical typing—sturdy slab serifs, consistent stroke weight, and slightly imperfect edges—aiming for dependable readability while preserving an analog, printed-on-paper character.
The lowercase shows classic typewriter cues (simple two-storey-style structures and sturdy stems) and the numerals have an unadorned, legible silhouette suited to tabular or list-like settings. The slight irregularity at terminals helps break up large blocks of text without turning into overt distress.
