A monoline, slab‑serif design with sturdy verticals and broad, blunt terminals. The forms are slightly softened and irregular at the edges, suggesting ink spread or worn type, while counters remain open enough to keep letters distinguishable. Curves are rounded and compact, joins are simple, and overall proportions feel steady and mechanical rather than calligraphic.
Works well for headlines, short passages, and themed layouts that want an old-office or archival feel—such as posters, packaging, labels, and retro branding systems. It can also support editorial accents where a mechanical, typed texture is desired, especially when set with generous leading.
The overall tone evokes vintage paperwork and hands-on, analog tools—practical, matter-of-fact, and a bit gritty. The subtle roughness adds warmth and personality, giving the text a stamped or well-used impression without becoming fully distressed.
The design appears intended to mimic the tactile imprint of mechanical typing, pairing sturdy slab shapes with lightly imperfect edges to recreate an analog, printed-on-paper character in a consistent, grid-like rhythm.
The numerals and capitals carry a strong, poster-like presence, while the lowercase maintains a consistent rhythm suited to continuous reading at moderate sizes. The serif blocks and softened corners create a clear silhouette that reads as classic typewriter-inspired texture.
