A monospaced serif with a distinctly inked, worn impression. Strokes are sturdy with slightly rounded corners and blunted terminals, creating a soft-edged silhouette rather than crisp, machined outlines. Subtle irregularities in stroke edges and small dark spots evoke ink spread and mechanical impact, while the serifs read as slab-like and unevenly pressed. The rhythm is steady and cell-fitting, with compact bowls, straightforward construction, and consistent character widths that reinforce the typewritten feel.
Well-suited to designs that want a believable typewriter/document look: props and ephemera, book or magazine treatments, packaging with a stamped or catalog vibe, and posters or headlines that benefit from a gritty, analog texture. It can also work for short-to-medium text where the distressed edges are a feature rather than a distraction.
The font conveys an analog, workmanlike tone—part archival document, part handmade imprint. Its lightly distressed texture suggests age, photocopies, and physical paperwork, giving text a human, imperfect presence. Overall it feels practical and direct, with a nostalgic, institutional flavor.
The design appears intended to recreate the feel of typewritten output with visible wear—consistent spacing and sturdy serif forms combined with ink spread and slight roughness. It prioritizes a convincing mechanical-imprint character over pristine geometry, aiming for authenticity and atmosphere in display and text settings.
In running text the texture becomes more apparent, with small edge wobble and ink gain that can darken dense passages. Capitals are sturdy and emphatic, while lowercase forms keep a simple, readable skeleton; round characters like O/0 and e show especially soft, pressed contours.
