A monoline, slabby serif design with blunt terminals and subtly uneven outlines that mimic ink spread and worn type. The strokes stay generally consistent in thickness, with small nicks and soft bulges that create a lightly distressed texture. Curves are broad and simple, joins are sturdy, and counters are open, producing a steady, mechanical rhythm that reads clearly in blocks of text.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a typewritten voice is desired—editorial callouts, captions, quotes, and retro-styled layouts. It also works effectively for labels, forms, and UI-like text blocks where a disciplined rhythm and a touch of wear can add character without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone feels archival and utilitarian, like a well-used office machine or a stamped label. Its slight roughness adds an analog, humanized patina while keeping a straightforward, no-nonsense presence.
The design appears intended to evoke typewritten output with a lived-in, slightly imperfect print quality, combining mechanical regularity with mild edge wear for atmosphere. It aims for dependable legibility while delivering an unmistakably analog, document-like texture.
The letterforms lean on simple geometry and sturdy proportions, with a distinctly slab-like serif treatment that holds up in small sizes. The texture is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving paragraphs a cohesive, lightly weathered color.
