A monolinear, typewriter-style serif with broad proportions and a steady, mechanical rhythm. Strokes are mostly even, with compact slab-like terminals and subtly rounded corners that keep the texture from feeling overly sharp. The forms show slight irregularities and soft inking at joins and ends, creating a lightly worn impression while maintaining consistent spacing and alignment across the set. Counters are open and simple, and the numerals follow the same sturdy, straightforward construction.
Well-suited to long-form reading where a typewritten voice is desired, such as fiction interiors, essays, scripts, and annotated documents. It also works for packaging copy, menus, and branding systems that lean on an analog, archival sensibility without sacrificing clarity at typical text sizes.
The overall tone is classic and workmanlike, evoking typed pages, office correspondence, and archival documents. Its slight roughness adds a human, analog edge that reads as nostalgic rather than decorative, with just enough quirk to feel lived-in and authentic.
The design appears intended to recreate the familiar cadence of mechanical typing—structured spacing, sturdy serifs, and a subtly imperfect inked finish—while staying clean enough for practical, repeated reading.
The uppercase has a sturdy, compact presence, while the lowercase remains clear and familiar in silhouette, producing an even gray value in paragraphs. The serif treatment is restrained and functional, contributing to a dependable, page-centric texture that suits continuous text as well as short labels.
