A monolinear, slabby serif design with compact proportions and a consistent, mechanical rhythm. Strokes show intentional roughening and slight edge wobble, with occasional inky swell and small voids that mimic uneven impression. Terminals are blunt and sturdy, counters are relatively open, and curves (notably in C, O, and e) carry a subtly weathered outline that keeps the texture visible even at larger sizes.
Well-suited to display and short-to-medium text where a typed, timeworn personality is desired—such as posters, book covers, editorial sidebars, packaging labels, and title cards. It can also add character to UI moments like headers or pull quotes when the distressed texture is part of the intended mood.
The overall tone is vintage and workmanlike, evoking typed documents, carbon copies, and well-used office or field equipment. Its distressed texture adds a gritty, analog character that can feel archival, investigative, or understatedly dramatic depending on setting.
The design appears aimed at recreating a mechanical typing feel while layering on a believable worn imprint, balancing strict spacing and sturdy serifs with irregular edges to suggest age, use, or imperfect printing.
The texture reads like wear rather than decorative noise: edges look abraded and slightly softened, producing a convincing printed-impression effect. Numerals and capitals maintain a firm, upright stance, helping the design stay structured even with the irregular ink artifacts.
