A monospaced slab-serif design with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms have broad proportions and a steady, mechanical rhythm, with slightly irregular edges that feel inked rather than perfectly geometric. Serifs are heavy and blunt, counters are open, and curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are generously rounded, giving the face a friendly robustness while retaining typewriter-like discipline.
Well suited for designs that want an authentic typed feel—posters, book covers, album art, and editorial headings where personality and rhythm matter. It can also work for short bursts of UI labels, captions, or packaging copy when a retro, document-like texture is desired, though its strong slabs and inked presence are best showcased above small body sizes.
The overall tone is vintage and workmanlike, evoking typed documents and mid-century print ephemera. Its softened corners and subtly worn texture add approachability and a lightly nostalgic, analog character rather than a sharp technical mood.
The design appears intended to recreate the feel of mechanical typing with a more polished, display-ready weight and a gently weathered finish. By combining strict monospaced spacing with rounded, heavy slabs, it aims for dependable legibility while delivering a distinctly analog, archival voice.
Capital shapes lean classic and readable, while lowercase forms keep a simple, utilitarian construction with clear differentiation between similar silhouettes. Numerals match the same blunt, slabbed geometry and maintain consistent width for a uniform, grid-friendly cadence.
