A monoline slab-serif design with compact, typewriter-like proportions and consistent spacing that keeps every glyph on an even rhythm. Stems are sturdy and mostly uniform, with softly rounded corners and blunt slab terminals that read as slightly inked rather than razor sharp. Curves are open and simple, counters are moderately sized, and joins stay clean, producing a steady, mechanical texture across lines. Numerals and capitals follow the same straightforward construction, emphasizing regularity and legibility over flourish.
Well suited to layouts that benefit from strict alignment and a typed cadence—forms, tables, captions, UI mockups, and document-style branding. It also works for editorial callouts and short paragraphs where a classic monospaced texture is desired, as well as for code-like snippets or technical notes that need consistent character spacing.
The overall tone feels archival and workmanlike, evoking typed documents, labels, and utilitarian ephemera. Its gentle softness at corners and terminals adds a tactile, worn-in warmth that can read as retro without becoming overtly distressed. The voice is matter-of-fact and readable, with a subtle period flavor suited to documents and displays that want an analog, printed feel.
Designed to capture the orderly rhythm of mechanical typing while remaining clean and broadly usable. The goal appears to be dependable readability with a lightly analog surface—firm slabs and consistent structure tempered by rounded, inked terminals for a familiar, vintage document presence.
Round punctuation and the consistent footprint of narrow letters (like I and l) reinforce the disciplined, machine-set cadence, while slightly bulbous terminals keep the texture from feeling overly sterile. The uppercase set is crisp and authoritative, and the lowercase maintains a clear, upright structure that stays stable in longer text blocks.
