A monoline, typewriter-like design with blunt slabby terminals and softly rounded corners that give the outlines a slightly swollen, inked feel. Letterforms are wide and steady, with a consistent, mechanical rhythm and a notably even color across lines of text. The edges show subtle irregularity and wear, creating a lightly distressed impression without breaking legibility. Counters are open and straightforward, and the overall drawing stays upright and stable with a no-nonsense texture.
Well-suited for headlines, pull quotes, title cards, and short-to-medium passages where a typed, tactile feel is desired. It also fits packaging, labels, and brand applications that benefit from a utilitarian, vintage-document voice, and can add character to UI or captions when a monospaced, mechanical rhythm is appropriate.
The font conveys an analog, workmanlike tone—evoking typed documents, forms, and stamped or inked impressions. Its slight roughness adds personality, suggesting age, handling, or imperfect printing, while still reading as practical and direct.
The design appears intended to emulate the look of inked typewriter output, combining monospaced discipline with gentle wear and organic edge variation. It balances a functional, document-like structure with enough texture to read as nostalgic and expressive in display settings.
The distressed texture appears integrated into the glyph shapes rather than applied as a heavy overlay, so the letterforms remain clear at typical display and text sizes. The bold-ish presence comes more from width and blunt terminals than from contrast, producing a solid, poster-friendly silhouette.
