A heavy, monolinear typewriter-style design with compact, square-shouldered letterforms and consistent character width. Strokes end in broad, slab-like terminals with softly irregular edges, creating a worn, inked texture that feels slightly stamped rather than digitally pristine. Counters are generally tight and rounded, and curves are built from sturdy, simplified shapes that maintain an even rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
Well-suited for short-form typography where character and texture are desirable—posters, headlines, pull quotes, packaging, labels, and branding accents. It can also work for themed editorial layouts or title cards that want a typewritten, archival feel, especially when set with generous leading to let the dense shapes breathe.
The overall tone is vintage and workmanlike, with a tactile, slightly distressed presence reminiscent of old typing, photocopies, or stamped paperwork. Its blunt terminals and uneven inking add grit and attitude, lending the face a noir or archival documentary flavor without becoming decorative.
Likely designed to evoke a classic typewriter imprint with a deliberately imperfect, ink-worn finish. The consistent widths and sturdy slabs aim to deliver a dependable mechanical rhythm while the roughened edges supply personality and period atmosphere.
The texture is subtle but consistent: edges look gently ragged and ink spread is implied, which helps the face feel physical at display sizes while still reading clearly. The numerals match the letterforms in weight and footprint, reinforcing the mechanical, uniform cadence.
