A monospaced roman with compact, rounded slab-like terminals and gently braced joins that echo mechanical type. Strokes are mostly even in weight, with subtly swollen ends and slight irregularities that suggest ink spread or worn type, giving edges a soft, imperfect contour. Counters are open and simple, and the overall rhythm is steady and grid-friendly, while the mild texture keeps it from feeling rigid or sterile.
Well suited to typewriter-evocative layouts such as scripts, manuscript-style pages, and retro-styled editorial design. The monospaced spacing makes it a strong choice for labels, simple tables, forms, and short technical captions where alignment matters, while the slight wear adds character to posters, packaging callouts, and themed branding.
The font conveys an analog, utilitarian mood—like paperwork, labels, or notes produced on aging office equipment. Its small imperfections add warmth and human presence without becoming overly distressed, balancing practicality with a nostalgic, archival tone.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of typed output with a touch of age: consistent monospaced spacing, sturdy letterforms, and subtle edge irregularities that mimic ink and impact. It aims for dependable readability while adding period-appropriate texture for themed or narrative-driven typography.
Capitals and lowercase share a consistent, workmanlike construction, with rounded corners and modestly prominent terminals that help maintain legibility at text sizes. Numerals follow the same mechanical logic and sit evenly within the monospaced set, supporting tidy alignment in tables or forms.
