A monoline slab-serif design with sturdy, bracketed terminals and a deliberately softened outline that mimics ink spread and minor mechanical wear. Strokes stay fairly even with minimal contrast, and the overall proportions are broad with generous counters that keep letters open. Edges are subtly uneven and slightly blobby in places, producing a textured silhouette while maintaining consistent, disciplined spacing and a steady rhythm across the set.
Works well for packaging, labels, posters, and editorial display where a tactile, typewritten tone is desirable. It can also serve in short text passages or captions when the goal is character and atmosphere over pristine neutrality, especially at sizes where the worn details remain legible.
The face evokes an analog, workmanlike atmosphere—practical and direct, with a lightly distressed, archival character. It feels at home in settings that suggest documentation, correspondence, or vintage machinery rather than polished corporate minimalism.
Likely intended to recreate the feel of mechanical typing with an intentionally imperfect, inked imprint—combining dependable slab-serif construction with subtle distress to add authenticity and period flavor.
Uppercase forms read bold and sign-like thanks to wide proportions and strong slabs, while lowercase maintains a clear, straightforward structure. Numerals share the same softened, inked-in quality, reinforcing a cohesive, stamped or typed impression in continuous text.
