A monospaced, typewriter-like design with chunky, low-contrast strokes and compact slabby terminals that read as softened by wear. Letterforms are upright and broadly proportioned, with slightly irregular edges and small nicks that suggest ink spread or mechanical imprint. Curves are open and rounded, counters are generous, and the overall rhythm stays even thanks to consistent character width, giving lines a steady, grid-like cadence.
Works well for short-to-medium passages where a typewritten voice is desired, such as captions, pull quotes, and editorial sidebars. It also suits packaging copy, labels, and poster typography where an analog, utilitarian texture can add character while keeping spacing predictable.
The font conveys an analog, hands-on tone—practical and a little rough around the edges—evoking typed notes, workshop labels, and archival paperwork. Its mild distress adds personality without becoming overly decorative, balancing reliability with a lived-in, nostalgic feel.
Likely designed to recreate the feel of a mechanical typing impression—monospaced structure, sturdy slabs, and slight wear—to deliver an authentic, archival voice in contemporary layouts.
The distressed details appear integrated into the shapes rather than applied as heavy texture, so the face remains readable in sentences while still showing a distinct “imprinted” character. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, blunt finish, reinforcing the mechanical, stamped impression across the set.
