A light, monoline slab-serif design with a distinctly typewriter-like construction and consistent character widths. Strokes stay fairly even, with small bracketed slab terminals and subtle irregularities that suggest ink spread or mechanical wear at joins. The forms are compact and upright, with modest curves, open counters, and a slightly jittery baseline rhythm that reads more human/mechanical than geometric. Numerals follow the same narrow, even-footed logic, keeping a tidy, tabular feel in running text.
This font suits contexts that benefit from a typewritten, fixed-width texture—code or terminal-style mockups, scripts, forms, tabular snippets, and labels. It can also work for short editorial accents such as captions or pull quotes when a documentary or archival voice is desired.
The tone is archival and workmanlike, evoking typed documents, labels, and field notes. Its slight roughness keeps it from feeling sterile, adding a hint of handmade character while still remaining disciplined and readable.
The design appears intended to recreate a classic typewriter impression in a lighter, more refined way, balancing strict width discipline with small optical quirks for authenticity. It prioritizes steady rhythm and clarity over ornamental detail, aiming for a practical, document-centric voice.
Uppercase shapes lean traditional and restrained, while lowercase shows simple, functional construction with clear differentiation between similar forms. Spacing appears intentionally even and grid-friendly, reinforcing the font’s mechanical cadence in paragraphs and pangrams.
