A monospaced slab-serif design with broad proportions, rounded corners, and heavy, blunt terminals. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with softened joins and subtly irregular edges that mimic ink spread or worn type. Serifs are short and cushioned rather than sharp, and counters are open enough to keep the texture readable while still feeling dense and stamp-like. The overall rhythm is steady and mechanical, with deliberately imperfect contours that add texture without breaking consistency.
It works well anywhere a tactile, mechanical texture is desirable: product labels, packaging callouts, zines and editorial sidebars, film or game title cards, and display headings that want a typewritten voice. It can also serve as body text when a deliberately roughened, analog tone is part of the design system.
The font evokes analog office and workshop ephemera—typewritten notes, labels, and utilitarian documentation—delivering a grounded, slightly gritty nostalgia. Its softened slabs and inky edges give it a human, tactile feel that reads as practical rather than polished.
The design appears intended to capture the look of typewriter output with softened slabs and slightly worn edges, balancing strict fixed-width structure with a more organic, inked impression for character and atmosphere.
Capitals carry a strong, poster-like presence, while lowercase retains a simple, functional structure that holds up in continuous text. Numerals match the same rounded, inked construction, reinforcing a cohesive, uniform texture across mixed content.
