A monospaced, typewriter-like serif with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and softly bracketed, slabby feet. Letterforms are built from rounded, slightly swollen strokes with blunted terminals, and the edges show deliberate irregularity that reads like ink spread or lightly worn type. Counters are generally open and simple, and the overall rhythm stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, preserving an even, mechanical spacing while keeping an organic, imperfect texture.
Works well wherever a typed or archival impression is desired, such as quotes, notes, ephemera-inspired layouts, and short-to-medium text blocks. It also suits posters, labels, and packaging that benefit from a mechanical-yet-worn texture, especially when consistent character spacing is part of the aesthetic.
The font conveys an analog, documentary tone—evoking typed correspondence, vintage forms, and workmanlike printing. Its subtle roughness and rounded shapes keep it friendly and approachable rather than stark, adding a hint of handmade character to an otherwise functional voice.
The design appears intended to recreate the feel of mechanical typing with the quirks of real ink on paper—maintaining disciplined spacing and familiar typewriter proportions while introducing softened corners and slight irregularities for a more human, vintage finish.
Capitals feel robust and stable, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable construction with minimal flourish. Numerals match the same softened, slightly distressed treatment, helping the set feel cohesive in practical text and numbered content.
