A monospaced, right-leaning typewriter style with compact, slightly uneven letterforms and softened edges that suggest ink spread and mechanical wear. Strokes show subtle modulation and bumpy contours, with small wedge-like terminals and occasional blots that create a printed, analog texture. Curves are somewhat squarish and open, counters are modest, and the overall rhythm is steady and grid-friendly while still visibly imperfect.
Works well anywhere a convincing typewritten texture is desired: ephemera-style posters, editorial pull quotes, book covers, packaging labels, and UI or print treatments that mimic stamped or typed copy. It is especially effective at larger text sizes where the rough edges and ink texture become a key part of the visual voice.
The face conveys a lived-in, archival tone—practical and documentary, with a hint of grit. Its irregular inking gives it a human, tactile feel that reads as authentic rather than polished, evoking typed notes, forms, and historical documents.
Likely designed to emulate mechanical typing with real-world imperfections—uneven ink, worn metal, and slight misregistration—while remaining structurally consistent for predictable alignment and layout.
Caps and lowercase share a consistent slanted posture and narrow, mechanical spacing typical of fixed-width designs. Numerals follow the same worn impression, with simplified shapes and slightly wobbly bowls that reinforce the distressed print character.
