A monoline, slabby letterform set with heavy, blunt terminals and softly irregular edges that read like ink spread or worn impressions. The shapes are wide and evenly paced, with consistent character widths and straightforward construction across caps and lowercase. Curves are slightly squarish and counters are compact, giving the face a dense, sturdy color in text. Overall rhythm is steady and mechanical, while the roughened outlines add a subtle distressed texture without breaking legibility.
Well-suited to display typography where a stamped, document-like presence is desired: posters, flyers, book covers, and editorial headings. It also works for labels, packaging, and props or UI moments that need an industrial, archival, or typewritten vibe, and can hold up in short text blocks thanks to its steady spacing and robust forms.
The font evokes an analog, workmanlike tone—part office machinery, part weathered print. Its uneven inking and tough silhouettes suggest archival documents, utilitarian labeling, and a slightly gritty, lived-in authenticity rather than polish or refinement.
The design appears intended to capture the feeling of mechanically produced text with imperfect ink transfer—uniform and practical in structure, but textured and slightly rough in finish. It prioritizes a consistent, dependable rhythm while adding character through worn edges and compact, sturdy shapes.
In the sample text, the repeated texture from the rough edges becomes a defining feature, especially at larger sizes, where the worn perimeter is clearly visible. Numerals share the same blunt, stamped feel and remain visually consistent with the alphabet, supporting cohesive setting in mixed alphanumeric content.
