A monospaced serif design with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and blunt slab-like terminals. The outlines show subtle irregularity—soft corners, slight swelling, and uneven edges—suggesting ink spread or worn type. Letterforms are generally upright and wide-set, with compact interior counters and a consistent, mechanical rhythm across the set. Numerals follow the same sturdy construction, with simple, readable shapes and minimal stroke modulation.
Works well for designs that want a typed, archival voice—editorial callouts, captions, menus, packaging copy, and poster headlines with a retro-document feel. The consistent rhythm supports longer blocks of text, while the worn detailing can be used to add atmosphere in display settings.
The overall tone feels like analog imprint: practical and matter-of-fact, with a nostalgic, slightly roughened character. It evokes paperwork, labels, and typed notes where a bit of imperfection adds authenticity and charm.
The design appears intended to capture the look of mechanical type with a lived-in imprint—balancing consistent, monospaced structure with imperfect, inked contours to convey authenticity and texture.
Spacing is uniform and disciplined, but the textured contours keep lines of text from feeling sterile. The dark color and dense forms hold together well in paragraphs, while the irregular edges become more noticeable at larger sizes for a deliberately tactile effect.
