A monospaced, rounded sans with soft corners and gently uneven strokes that mimic inked or stamped lettering. The forms are built from simple geometric skeletons—open apertures, rounded bowls, and straight-sided stems—while slight wobble and edge texture add a human, analog feel. Counters stay clear and fairly open, and spacing is consistent in a way that keeps lines orderly despite the intentionally imperfect outlines.
It suits short-to-medium text in designs where a tactile, analog voice is desired—such as packaging callouts, product labels, posters, album artwork, zines, or editorial sidebars. The consistent character width also makes it useful for lists, forms, and layout elements where alignment and a typewriter-like rhythm are helpful.
The font reads as friendly and informal, with a nostalgic typewriter-meets-rubber-stamp character. Its roughened edges and subtly irregular rhythm suggest handmade notes, zines, labels, or low-fi editorial work rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to blend the practicality and alignment of monospaced lettering with an intentionally imperfect, printed texture. It aims to feel approachable and crafted, delivering a retro, utilitarian tone while keeping letterforms straightforward and readable.
Uppercase and lowercase maintain a cohesive, simplified construction, and numerals follow the same softened, slightly distressed treatment. The overall color on the page is even and sturdy, with enough texture to feel tactile without becoming overly noisy at typical display sizes.
