A sturdy slab-serif design with uniform, monospaced spacing and a compact, squat overall silhouette. Strokes are heavy and largely even, with blunt terminals and softened, slightly rounded corners that give the letterforms a stamped, inked feel. The serifs are blocky and bracketed-looking, and curves read as broad and open rather than sharply calligraphic, producing a steady, mechanical rhythm across lines.
Works well for short-to-medium text where a strong typewritten voice is desired, such as headlines, pull quotes, and display copy in editorial layouts. It’s also a good fit for packaging, tags, and signage that benefits from a tough, stamped look, and for book or album covers aiming for an archival or documentary tone.
The font conveys a classic typewritten, archival mood—practical and matter-of-fact, with a hint of aged imprint. Its dense weight and soft edges feel familiar and tactile, evoking paperwork, labels, and period documents more than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to capture the visual authority and regular rhythm of mechanical type, while adding a heavier, more graphic presence for display use. Its softened corners and inked impression help it feel lived-in and tactile rather than strictly technical.
Letterforms show small irregularities in edge crispness that suggest impression or ink spread, helping prevent the design from feeling overly clinical. The numerals are similarly robust and simple, matching the letters’ blocky, utilitarian construction for consistent tone in mixed text.
