A monoline, slabby serif design with chunky terminals and compact, block-like letterforms. The contours are intentionally irregular, with slightly wavy edges and uneven joins that mimic ink spread or worn type, giving each glyph a handmade-yet-mechanical feel. Serifs are short and squared, counters are fairly open, and curves (notably in C, G, S, and 0) are rounded but not polished, contributing to a roughened silhouette. Overall spacing and rhythm read as fixed-step, with consistent glyph width and a steady, typewriter-like cadence across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where texture and attitude are desirable: poster headlines, album or event graphics, product packaging, labels, and vintage-themed title treatments. It can also work for pull quotes or UI moments that aim for an intentionally analog, stamped look, provided the size is generous enough to keep the rough contours from feeling cramped.
The font conveys an analog, utilitarian tone—like an old ribbon machine or stamped lettering that’s seen repeated use. Its rough edges and slightly lumpy forms add character and a casual grit, balancing nostalgia with a mildly rebellious, DIY sensibility.
The design appears intended to evoke mechanical type with imperfect printing—capturing the regularity of fixed-width rhythm while adding wear, ink gain, and slight distortion for personality. It prioritizes atmosphere and period flavor over crisp neutrality, making it a strong choice when a distressed typewriter voice is needed.
The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g and a dotted i that reads as a solid, inked point. Numerals are heavy and straightforward, with softened corners and the same distressed outline, keeping texture consistent in mixed text. The overall texture becomes more pronounced at larger sizes, where the uneven edges read as a deliberate design feature.
