A monoline, serifed design with sturdy verticals and soft, swollen terminals that mimic ink spread and impression. The outlines are intentionally irregular, with subtly wavy contours and uneven joins that create a worn, stamped rhythm. Serifs are short and blunt with rounded corners, giving each character a blocky silhouette while maintaining clear letter shapes. Counters stay fairly open and the overall set reads spacious and steady, with consistent alignment and a distinctly mechanical cadence.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium text where a typewritten, tactile texture is desired. It works well for editorial layouts, posters, book covers, and packaging that benefits from an archival or utilitarian voice. The sturdy shapes also make it effective for labels and identity elements when you want a deliberately imperfect, analog finish.
The font projects a vintage, documentary tone—like a well-used typewriter ribbon or a rubber-stamp imprint. Its roughened edges and inky build-up add a tactile, slightly gritty character that feels human and archival rather than pristine. Overall it conveys practicality with a nostalgic, analog warmth.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of mechanical, inked lettering with natural wear—soft edges, slight deformation, and a consistent monoline build. It prioritizes an authentic printed impression and steady typographic rhythm over crisp geometry, delivering a purposeful retro, documentary feel.
Uppercase forms lean classic and authoritative, while the lowercase keeps a compact, straightforward presence; together they create a consistent, workmanlike texture in paragraphs. Numerals match the same blunt, inked construction, maintaining the same stamped consistency across the set.
