A sturdy slab‑serif design with blunt terminals and soft, rounded corners that read as slightly inked rather than razor-sharp. Strokes stay largely even, with compact joins and simplified curves that keep the forms stable and legible. The serifs are short and blocky, often swelling into wedge-like feet on verticals, and counters are generous and open. Overall spacing and rhythm feel steady and mechanical, producing a consistent, patterned texture in text.
Well-suited for projects that want a typewritten or mechanical texture: screenplay-style layouts, dossiers, captions, labels, and retro-themed editorial headers. Its consistent rhythm and sturdy shapes also work for short-to-medium passages where a distinctive mono look is desired without heavy distress.
The face conveys a practical, no‑nonsense tone with a distinctly analogue feel, like text produced by an impact mechanism rather than a pristine digital outline. Its friendly rounding keeps it approachable, while the firm slabs and uniform cadence maintain an authoritative, report-like voice.
The design appears intended to echo classic typewriter output with solid slabs and softened terminals, prioritizing clarity and an even typographic rhythm while adding a subtly worn, inked character for atmosphere.
In the sample text, the repeated blunt serifs and softened edges create a recognizable “stamped” silhouette, especially in round characters and at baseline/ascender terminals. Numerals appear robust and clear, matching the letterforms’ squarish, steady presence.
