A monospaced serif design with stout, slightly irregular strokes and compact, squared-off proportions. Serifs are blunt and often bracketed, with softened corners and a subtly inked, worn edge that varies from letter to letter rather than looking perfectly geometric. Curves (notably in C, G, O, and e) feel slightly pinched and uneven in a way that suggests impression or inking artifacts, while joins and terminals show small bulges and nicks. Overall spacing is steady and grid-friendly, producing a consistent typewriter-like rhythm despite the intentionally roughened outlines.
Well-suited to display and short-to-medium text where a typewritten, analog voice is desirable—such as posters, title cards, packaging accents, labels, ephemera-style layouts, and film/game props. Its steady monospaced cadence also works for UI mockups or code-themed graphics when you want texture and character rather than a clean technical finish.
The font conveys an analog, mechanical character—practical and matter-of-fact, but with a handmade roughness that feels vintage and a bit gritty. It reads as archival and documentary, evoking typed notes, labels, or stamped paperwork rather than polished editorial typography.
The design appears intended to recreate the feel of mechanically produced monospaced printing, adding subtle wear and ink spread to keep the texture lively and believable. The consistent set width and sturdy serifs prioritize a dependable rhythm, while the distressed edges supply atmosphere and period flavor.
Capitals are assertive with broad feet and strong vertical emphasis, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar forms through distinctive terminals and slightly idiosyncratic bowls. Numerals share the same sturdy construction and irregular edge quality, keeping a cohesive, worn-through-the-ribbon look across letters and figures.
