A heavy, slab‑serif typewriter face with monoline strokes and compact, sturdy proportions. The letters sit on a fixed-width rhythm and read as evenly paced, with broad, blunt serifs and softly rounded corners that make the shapes feel inked rather than razor-sharp. Counters are small-to-medium and mostly closed, with simplified, workmanlike curves on rounds and bowls; diagonals stay thick and steady, keeping the texture dense and consistent in text.
Works best where a bold, mechanical voice is desired: poster headlines, packaging and label systems, identity wordmarks, and editorial pull quotes. Its fixed-width cadence also suits technical-themed graphics, lists, and short UI or terminal-style callouts where even alignment is part of the aesthetic.
The overall tone is vintage and mechanical, like a well-used typewriter imprint with a friendly, slightly quirky warmth. It balances no-nonsense utility with a touch of character from its rounded slabs and chunky silhouettes, giving headlines a nostalgic, hands-on feel.
Likely designed to evoke classic typewriter output with a sturdier, more display-oriented presence, prioritizing uniform spacing, strong slab anchoring, and a dense, readable texture that holds up at medium-to-large sizes.
Capitals are wide and stable, with especially strong slab feet on forms like I, T, and L that reinforce the “stamped” rhythm. Numerals follow the same chunky construction and remain highly consistent in width and weight, supporting an even typographic color across mixed alphanumeric settings.
