A monoline, monospaced design with sturdy slab-like terminals and softly rounded corners that keep the texture friendly rather than sharp. The outlines show subtle irregularities—slight edge wobble, uneven inking, and small nicks—creating a lightly distressed print impression. Counters are open and straightforward, and the overall rhythm is even and mechanical, with consistent cell-to-cell spacing and stable, upright proportions.
Well-suited for applications that benefit from a typed, documentary feel: headlines and short passages in posters, book covers, editorial pull quotes, zines, packaging labels, and themed UI moments. It can also work for captions or mock forms when you want a mechanical cadence with a subtly aged imprint.
The font conveys an analog, workmanlike tone—matter-of-fact and archival, with a hint of grit. Its worn imprint suggests typed documents, field notes, and reproduced copy, giving text an immediate sense of age and authenticity without becoming overly decorative.
Likely designed to emulate the look of typewriter output with realistic printing imperfections, balancing legibility and consistent monospaced structure with a lightly weathered, inked surface.
The distress is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, reading as ink spread and wear rather than heavy grunge. At text sizes, the surface texture becomes a noticeable “paper-and-ribbon” grain that can add character to otherwise plain layouts.
