A monospaced roman with softly bracketed slab-like serifs and gently rounded joins that mimic type impact and ink spread. Strokes stay fairly even in weight with subtly irregular edges and small terminal flares, giving the outlines a lightly worn, printed texture. Proportions are open and steady, with broad, simple counters and a measured rhythm that maintains consistent spacing across letters and numerals.
Well-suited to typewriter-styled layouts such as scripts, notes, and draft documents where uniform character width supports alignment. It can also work for UI elements, code snippets, or labels when a utilitarian monospaced voice with a printed texture is desired.
The overall tone feels analog and document-like, evoking typed pages, forms, and archival paperwork. Its slight roughness reads as human and lived-in rather than clinical, adding a modest vintage character while remaining straightforward and readable.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of typed output: regularized monospacing paired with softened slab serifs and mild wear that suggests ink-on-paper. It balances a nostalgic, mechanical feel with clear, functional letterforms for extended text settings.
Capitals are sturdy and centered within the fixed width, while lowercase forms keep a clear, practical structure with minimal stylization. Numerals match the same mechanical cadence, and punctuation in the sample text reinforces the typewritten impression through consistent width and a slightly imperfect imprint.
