A monolinear, slab-serif typewriter style with compact proportions and blunt, squared terminals. The letterforms are built from sturdy vertical stems and rounded bowls, with small, bracket-like slabs that read as typebar impressions rather than refined serifs. Edges show slight irregularity and soft corners, giving an inked, lightly worn texture while keeping consistent stroke rhythm and spacing. Numerals are heavy and simple, matching the same blocky construction and sturdy counters.
Works well for headlines, posters, and short passages where a typewritten imprint is desired, such as packaging, labels, book covers, and themed collateral. It can also serve as an accent face in editorial layouts to evoke documents, instructions, or archival notes, especially when paired with a cleaner companion for body text.
The font conveys an archival, mechanical tone—practical and matter-of-fact with a hint of grit. Its slightly distressed imprint suggests paperwork, forms, and stamped documents rather than polished editorial typography, creating a retro, utilitarian voice.
Designed to emulate the look of mechanical type on paper—solid, evenly set characters with a slightly imperfect ink impression. The goal appears to be dependable readability with an intentionally aged, document-like surface that adds character without overwhelming the underlying forms.
The texture is subtle enough to remain legible in continuous text, but the inky spread and roughened contours become a defining feature at display sizes. Round letters (O, Q) stay fairly open, while straighter forms emphasize the squared, typewritten feel.
