A monoline, slab-serif typewriter face with heavy, compact letterforms and rounded terminals. Strokes are thick and steady with low contrast, while serifs appear blunt and slightly flared, giving each character a stamped, physical presence. Contours show mild irregularity and soft cornering that reads like ink spread or worn type, creating a subtly distressed edge without breaking letter integrity. Counters are relatively small and apertures are modest, producing a dense, dark texture with consistent rhythm across lines.
Well-suited for designs that want an authentic typewritten voice: headlines, pull quotes, posters, and short editorial passages where texture adds character. It also works effectively on packaging, labels, and vintage-inspired branding where a stamped or printed aesthetic is desirable.
The overall tone feels vintage and mechanical, with an analog roughness that suggests paper, ribbon, and impact printing. Its slight wobble and softened edges add a human, imperfect charm—part pragmatic record-keeping, part nostalgic ephemera.
The design appears intended to emulate the look of mechanical typing with a softened, slightly worn imprint, balancing dependable structure with just enough irregularity to feel tactile and real.
Figures are sturdy and highly uniform in width, reinforcing a measured, grid-like cadence. Punctuation and small details (like the dot on i/j and interior counters) stay robust at text sizes, while the distressed rounding becomes more apparent at larger display settings.
