A heavy, monoline slab-serif design with blunt terminals and visibly irregular, worn contours. Strokes feel inked-in with soft corners, uneven edges, and slight shape variation that mimics mechanical impact and paper absorption. The letterforms are compact and sturdy with generous internal counters for the weight, and the overall rhythm is strongly modular and uniform, keeping characters visually aligned and evenly paced.
Works well when you want typewriter flavor with extra visual weight—headlines, short paragraphs, pull quotes, and labels where texture is part of the message. It suits posters, book or magazine features, packaging, and identity accents that benefit from a tactile, printed-on-paper feel. For longer text, it performs best at comfortable sizes where the rough edges can breathe.
The font evokes an analog, workmanlike mood—part office typewritten, part underground print. Its roughened imprint and dense color suggest authenticity and grit, lending a slightly rebellious, handmade texture while still reading as structured and systematic.
Likely designed to translate mechanical typewritten structure into a more expressive, high-impact voice, adding wear and ink spread to suggest age, repetition, and physical printing. The goal appears to be recognizably typewriter-like and orderly, but with enough texture and mass to function as a bold display tool.
Round characters (like O and 0) show a noticeably imperfect, press-like outline rather than smooth geometry, and numerals carry the same heavy, stamped presence as the letters. The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, so the distressed effect reads as intentional rather than incidental.
