A heavy, monoline typewriter face with squared proportions and compact counters, rendered with intentionally rough edges and uneven ink spread. Strokes terminate in blunt slab-like feet and shoulders, with soft, wobbly outlines that suggest impact wear or over-inking. The rhythm is steady and mechanical, but the contours show frequent nicks, dents, and filled-in details that add texture, especially in enclosed bowls and at joins.
Well-suited to posters, book covers, and editorial pull quotes where a typewritten, imperfect imprint is desirable. It also fits packaging, labels, and branding systems that want an industrial or archival voice, and can be effective for short UI badges or headings when a rugged, tactile texture is preferred over clean neutrality.
The overall tone is rugged and analog, evoking typed paperwork, carbon copies, and stamped ephemera. Its distressed texture reads as gritty and lived-in, lending an archival, documentary feel with a hint of noir or pulp grit.
The design appears intended to recreate the feel of a mechanical typewriter with visible wear—combining strict spacing and sturdy letterforms with deliberate roughness to simulate ink soak, strike variation, and age-related degradation.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, sturdy build with a slightly condensed internal space, so the texture becomes more pronounced at smaller sizes or in dense text. Numerals follow the same stamped, uneven inking behavior, helping headlines and short bursts of copy keep a cohesive, worn mechanical character.
