A heavy, monolinear slab-serif design with typewriter-like spacing and a compact, stamped silhouette. Strokes are thick and even, with rounded terminals and softened corners that create a slightly blobby, inked impression. Serifs are broad and bracketed-looking, and many joins appear gently swollen, suggesting impact printing or worn type. Counters are relatively tight, giving letters a dense texture while maintaining clear, straightforward skeletons across upper- and lowercase.
Works well for short-to-medium text where a strong, vintage-mechanical voice is desired—posters, chapter titles, pull quotes, and title cards. It also fits branding and packaging that leans into retro industrial, workshop, or archival themes, and can add character to labels, stamps, and faux-typewritten layouts.
The font evokes a mechanical, hands-on atmosphere—practical and a bit rough around the edges. Its worn, ink-stamped character reads as archival and documentary, with a subtle noir and industrial grit that feels at home in analog or retro contexts.
The design appears intended to capture the look of impact-printed type: consistent spacing, sturdy slabs, and a slightly worn imprint. Its goal is legibility with personality, prioritizing a dense, authoritative texture over delicate detail.
The rhythm is steady and uniform, reinforcing a measured, mechanical cadence in lines of text. The texture becomes more pronounced at smaller sizes as interior spaces close up, while at display sizes the rounded edges and irregular inking are more evident.
