A monolinear serif design with clearly typewriter-derived construction and a consistent fixed-width rhythm. Strokes are light and even, with soft, rounded slab-like terminals and slightly blunted corners that create an inked, imperfect edge. Curves (notably in C, G, O, and numerals like 8 and 9) feel gently irregular, as if pressed through a ribbon, while verticals stay steady and upright. Overall spacing is uniform and open, with straightforward shapes and restrained detailing that reads cleanly at text sizes despite the textured outlines.
It works well for short-to-medium text passages where a typewritten voice is desirable—editorial callouts, captions, credits, and interface or code-themed layouts. The gentle wear also suits packaging, event materials, posters, and title cards that aim for a retro-document or dossier feel without sacrificing basic readability.
The face conveys an analog, archival mood—functional and matter-of-fact, but with enough wear to feel human and lived-in. It suggests paperwork, drafts, labels, and documents that have been handled, copied, and retyped, giving copy a subtle sense of authenticity and time.
The design appears intended to replicate the look of lightly worn mechanical typing, combining monospaced structure with softened serifs and subtle edge irregularities to evoke printed ribbon texture while staying controlled enough for practical composition.
The distressed edge is mild and consistent rather than chaotic, so it adds character without collapsing counters. Numerals appear straightforward and sturdy, matching the same softened terminal treatment and maintaining the same mechanical cadence as the letters.
