Pitch specimen from Klim Type Foundry

A slab serif monospace by Kris Sowersby that channels typewriter character without copying its quirks, suited to editorial and code settings.

About

A monospaced slab serif that reads as a considered nod to typewriter typography rather than a literal revival. Five weights from Light to Bold each carry a true italic, drawn so the slab terminals stay calm at body sizes. Reach for it when an editorial or technical brand wants the rhythm and texture of fixed-width letters without the flat sterility of a standard coding mono.

Classification

Klim classifies it as Moderns: Mechanistic/Slab Serif Monospace; described as a love letter to the typewriter, a synthesis of digital and analogue that evokes typewritten text rather than emulating it.
