A monoline slab-serif design with broad proportions, rounded terminals, and soft, slightly irregular edges that suggest worn metal type or uneven inking. Strokes stay largely consistent in thickness, with stout bracketed slabs and compact counters that keep the texture dense and dark. The letterforms sit upright with a steady, even rhythm and simple, no-nonsense construction, producing a strong horizontal presence and a distinctly mechanical cadence in text.
Best suited to display settings where a typed, analog feel is desirable—posters, packaging, product labels, and brand marks with a vintage or industrial lean. It also works well for short paragraphs, captions, and pull quotes when you want visible texture and a strong, dark typographic color.
The overall tone feels vintage and workmanlike, evoking typed memos, labels, and shop paperwork. Its subtle roughness adds a tactile, slightly gritty character that reads as authentic and unpolished rather than pristine. The wide stance and heavy color give it a confident, straightforward voice.
Likely designed to capture the look of typewritten output with a subtly distressed imprint, balancing mechanical structure with organic imperfections. The goal appears to be high visual character and recognizability in both single words and blocks of text.
The distressed edge behavior is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive “inked” texture in paragraphs. Numerals are bold and rounded, matching the letters’ sturdy slabs and maintaining the same dark typographic color.
