A monospaced serif design with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and compact, typewriter-like proportions. The letterforms show slightly rough, uneven edges and subtle blobs at terminals, as if ink spread or impressions varied across strikes. Serifs are short and blunt, often with a bracketed feel, and curves (like C, O, and S) have a mildly irregular contour that reinforces the mechanical-yet-imperfect rhythm. Overall spacing is even and disciplined, while the texture stays consistently worn across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to projects that benefit from a typewritten or document-like voice, such as manuscript styling, screenplay layouts, faux-archival editorial design, and packaging or posters aiming for an analog, reproduced look. It can also work effectively in film/TV prop graphics, labels, or ephemera where a convincingly imperfect imprint adds realism.
The font conveys an archival, workmanlike tone—practical and straightforward, but with a lived-in, analog patina. Its distressed imprint suggests paperwork, field notes, or reproduced documents, adding a hint of grit and authenticity without becoming overly decorative.
Likely drawn to emulate the cadence of mechanical typing while introducing controlled wear to mimic ink spread and repeated use. The goal appears to be dependable readability in a fixed-width structure paired with a textured, timeworn surface that evokes reproduced documents and vintage correspondence.
The lowercase has a simple, readable construction with a single-storey "a" and "g" and a narrow "t" with a short crossbar. Numerals follow the same blunt, stamped character, with the "8" and "0" showing the most visible inked irregularity. The texture reads clearly at paragraph sizes, where the slight roughness becomes a cohesive page color rather than isolated artifacts.
