A heavy, typewriter-like serif with compact, blocky letterforms and blunt slab terminals. Strokes are mostly uniform and rounded off, with noticeably irregular contours that create a worn, ink-squashed impression. Counters are small and uneven, and joins often appear swollen, giving the alphabet a soft, blobby silhouette while keeping a steady, mechanical rhythm across lines.
This face is well-suited to short headlines, poster copy, and bold callouts where its ink-worn texture can be appreciated. It also works effectively for packaging, labels, and editorial/zine aesthetics that benefit from an analog, stamped or typed feel. For longer text, it performs best with generous size and leading to keep the dense forms readable.
The overall tone feels vintage and lived-in, like old office paperwork or a well-used rubber stamp. Its rough edges and ink spread add a casual, slightly mischievous character that reads as handmade despite the disciplined spacing.
The design appears intended to evoke mechanical typing with the imperfections of pressure, ink spread, and age, combining a strict, typewriter rhythm with deliberately roughened edges for character.
The distressed outline behavior is consistent from caps to lowercase and numerals, producing a cohesive texture in paragraphs. At smaller sizes the tight counters and heavy weight can cause darkening, while at display sizes the worn detail becomes part of the charm.
