A sturdy, typewriter-like slab serif with wide, monospaced proportions and a low-contrast, mostly upright construction. Strokes end in blunt, squared terminals with soft rounding and slight irregularities that suggest ink spread or worn impressions. Curves are compact and somewhat flattened, and counters tend to be open and readable, producing an even, mechanical rhythm across lines.
Well-suited for headlines, short paragraphs, pull quotes, and retro-themed layouts where a typed, mechanical voice is desired. It also works nicely on packaging and labels that benefit from a rugged, utilitarian texture, especially at medium to larger sizes where the worn details remain clear.
The overall tone feels archival and practical, evoking typed documents, stamped labels, and well-used office equipment. Its subtly rough edges add a human, lived-in quality that reads as analog and retro rather than pristine.
The design appears intended to replicate the dependable, monospaced cadence of typewritten text while adding subtle wear and ink character for atmosphere. It prioritizes a clear, steady rhythm and a tactile, printed feel over a clean digital finish.
The numerals and capitals carry the same blocky, inked-in texture as the lowercase, helping maintain consistency in mixed text. The wide set and generous sidebearings keep letters from feeling cramped, even with the heavier, blunted terminals.
