A heavy, monoline typewriter face with compact proportions, squared silhouettes, and rounded ink traps that soften corners and terminals. Strokes end in sturdy slab-like feet and shoulders, with slightly irregular edges that read as ink spread or worn type. Counters are moderately open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is steady and evenly spaced, producing a dense, emphatic texture in text.
Works well for display sizes where its chunky slabs and inked texture can read as intentional character—posters, covers, labels, packaging, and bold editorial headings. It can also serve for short text elements like captions, pull quotes, or UI badges when a strong, vintage typewritten voice is desired.
The font conveys a retro, workmanlike tone—part newsroom, part workshop—combining mechanical regularity with a subtly distressed, inked character. It feels straightforward and functional, with a hint of grit and analog imperfection that suggests stamped labels, typed notes, or industrial signage.
Likely intended to emulate the look of impactful typewriter or stamped output, prioritizing solid color, even spacing, and a convincing analog roughness. The design emphasizes sturdiness and clarity over finesse, aiming for a dependable, mechanical feel with tactile warmth.
The uppercase has a strong, blocky presence, while the lowercase maintains clear, sturdy forms with minimal delicacy. Numerals are bold and rounded, matching the same inked, slightly softened treatment, which keeps mixed alphanumeric settings visually consistent.
