A monospaced, typewriter-like serif with broad proportions and sturdy, blunt terminals. Strokes are moderately contrasty but mostly even in color, with slightly swollen joins and subtly irregular edges that mimic ink spread or worn metal type. The serifs are slab-like and softened rather than sharply bracketed, giving letters a stamped, pressure-printed look. Counters are open and round, and the overall rhythm is steady and grid-friendly, with consistent character widths that create a distinctly mechanical texture in lines of text.
Works well where a typewritten voice is desirable: editorial pull quotes, book or zine interiors, film credits, product labels, and packaging that leans handmade or archival. It also suits UI-like listings, code-style layouts, and tabular copy when a mechanical, document-forward aesthetic is preferred.
The font conveys a tactile, analog tone—part newsroom, part workshop. Its slightly distressed, inky outlines feel archival and authentic, suggesting documents, labels, and typed ephemera rather than polished corporate typography. The result is confident and readable, with a hint of grit and nostalgia.
Designed to evoke the look of mechanical typing with the imperfections of real impression—slight edge wear, ink gain, and a consistent monospaced cadence—while remaining legible across short and medium-length text. The goal appears to be a recognizable, characterful document texture that can function for both display lines and readable paragraphs.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and poster-like, while lowercase retains classic typewriter cues (single-storey shapes and compact details) that keep paragraphs lively. Numerals are bold and characterful, maintaining the same stamped impression and strong silhouette, which helps them hold up in listings and headings.
