A monolinear, typewriter-like serif design with broad proportions and gently rounded slab-like serifs. Strokes are low-contrast with soft, slightly blunted terminals that read as inked or worn rather than sharply cut. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous, and the overall rhythm is steady and even, with a mild organic irregularity that keeps repeated forms from feeling sterile.
Works well for typewriter-styled body copy, manuscripts and screenplay-like layouts, captions, and editorial settings where an analog, practical texture is desired. It also suits lightweight, readable UI or documentation contexts that benefit from steady character spacing and consistent text color.
The face conveys a nostalgic, analog tone—practical and readable, yet personable. Its softened edges and subtle unevenness suggest mechanical imprint and paper texture, giving text a lived-in, documentary feel rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to evoke mechanical type while staying clean enough for extended reading. Softened serifs and lightly irregular stroke endings add period character without resorting to heavy distressing, balancing utility with atmosphere.
Round forms (C, O, 0) stay fairly upright and open, helping clarity at text sizes, while the serifs remain understated and consistent across capitals and lowercase. Numerals keep the same steady color as the letters, supporting continuous reading in mixed text and data.
