A monoline, slab-serif typewriter face with sturdy, rectangular proportions and compact curves. Strokes are blunt-ended and slightly irregular, with visibly roughened edges that mimic ink spread or worn type, producing small nicks and soft corners across the alphabet. Counters are open and simple, and the overall rhythm is even and mechanical, with consistent character widths that keep lines aligned and tightly patterned. Numerals follow the same sturdy, stamped construction, with the round forms slightly squared off and the straight strokes showing the same distressed texture.
Well-suited to display applications where a typed or document-like voice is desired, such as posters, book or album covers, editorial headers, and packaging/label systems. It also works for UI accents, captions, and short blocks of text when you want a utilitarian monospaced look with added texture, particularly at medium to larger sizes where the worn details remain legible.
The texture and mechanical construction evoke an analog, archival feel—like typed documents, labels, or rubber-stamped ephemera. It reads as practical and matter-of-fact, with a subtle grit that adds character and a sense of age or use without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to reproduce the look of mechanical typing with a deliberately imperfect imprint—combining dependable, monospaced structure with a worn, inked surface to create a convincingly analog tone.
The distressed edge treatment is consistent enough to feel intentional rather than accidental, adding tone while keeping letterforms clear. The slab terminals and broad shoulders give the font a solid presence, especially in all-caps and short, punchy phrases.
