A heavy, monoline slab-serif design with a consistent, typewriter-like rhythm and firm rectangular spacing. Strokes are thick with softly blunted terminals and slightly irregular edges that read as inky or worn, giving the forms a stamped impression. The italic slant is modest but persistent across both cases, with compact counters and sturdy, squared serifs that keep letters from feeling delicate. Round characters (O, Q, 0) are squarish-oval, and diagonals (V, W, X) are broad and weighty, reinforcing the dense, mechanical texture in text.
Well suited to display and short-to-medium text where a bold, vintage typed texture is desired—posters, book or album covers, packaging, labels, and editorial callouts. It also works for props and UI moments that need an intentionally mechanical, printed look, especially when set with generous leading to keep the dense color comfortable.
The font conveys a vintage, workmanlike tone—practical and slightly gritty—like typed pages, labels, or notices made with an older machine. Its dark color and subtly distressed contouring suggest authenticity, tactility, and a hands-on, archival feel rather than a pristine digital finish.
The design appears intended to recreate the visual character of typed output with a slightly worn, inked imprint—combining sturdy slab serifs, a consistent forward slant, and a deliberately imperfect edge to evoke analog production. The goal is readability with attitude: a reliable workhorse voice that still feels tactile and period-coded.
In running text the heavy color builds quickly, creating strong emphasis and a clear typographic “voice.” The figures are sturdy and prominent, matching the letterforms’ industrial feel, and the overall texture stays consistent across upper- and lowercase without decorative flourish.
