A monospaced slab-serif design with chunky, bracketed serifs and softly rounded terminals that keep the heavy strokes from feeling sharp. The letterforms show slight irregularity and ink-like swelling at joins, giving edges a subtly worn, stamped look while maintaining consistent cell-to-cell width and rhythm. Counters are compact and sturdy, with a generally square, mechanical silhouette; the lowercase follows classic typewriter proportions, and the numerals are bold and simplified for clear, even color.
Well suited to typewriter-themed design work such as posters, record sleeves, book or zine covers, packaging labels, and display copy that benefits from a strong monospaced rhythm. It can also work for short UI-like readouts or callouts where a rugged, mechanical tone is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels mechanical and archival, like text struck on paper with a well-used ribbon. It conveys a pragmatic, workshop-and-ledger character with a friendly, slightly imperfect warmth rather than a pristine digital finish.
Likely drawn to evoke the look of mechanical typing with sturdy slabs and subtly inked edges, balancing strict fixed-width structure with enough organic irregularity to suggest real-world impression. The goal appears to be high-impact, characterful text that reads as utilitarian and retro without becoming overly distressed.
The face keeps strong horizontal emphasis through prominent slab serifs and dense strokes, creating an assertive texture in paragraphs. Its consistent spacing and robust shapes help it hold up visually in noisy layouts, while the mild distress prevents it from feeling sterile.
