A heavy, monospaced sans with rounded, slightly blobby contours and softly squared terminals. Strokes keep a consistent thickness with minimal modulation, while edges show intentional roughness that mimics ink spread or rubber-stamp pressure. Counters are compact and rounded, with sturdy verticals and simplified joins that keep the texture even across the line. The overall rhythm is steady and grid-friendly, with a tall x-height and broad forms that read solidly at display and subhead sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and packaging where a bold, friendly voice is needed and the monospaced structure becomes a stylistic feature. It also works for branding accents, labels, and zine/editorial callouts that benefit from an analog, printed texture.
The face mixes typewriter order with a handmade, imperfect charm. Its inky, softened shapes feel approachable and a little mischievous, lending a casual, retro tone rather than a strict technical one.
Likely designed to combine the disciplined spacing of a monospaced sans with the character of imperfect ink on paper. The goal appears to be strong, readable shapes with an intentionally rough, tactile finish that adds personality in short to medium text settings.
The texture is most noticeable on curves and at stroke ends, where slight wobble and pooling create a warm, printed look. Numerals and capitals carry the same chunky, rounded construction, maintaining a consistent color in paragraphs despite the roughened outlines.
