A sturdy monoline serif design with typewriter-like proportions and consistent character widths. Strokes are slightly irregular with soft, blunted terminals and subtly swollen corners that evoke ink spread and mechanical impact. Serifs read as compact slabs rather than sharp wedges, and curves (notably in C, O, and S) retain a slightly lumpy, printed texture. Numerals are clear and rounded with the same worn edges, maintaining an even rhythm and steady baseline presence across the set.
Well-suited to projects that benefit from a typed, documentary feel: editorial pull quotes, captioning, instructional sheets, labels, and prop documents. It can also work for posters or title lines when a tactile, analog imprint is desired, and it remains readable in longer passages thanks to its steady spacing and restrained detailing.
The overall tone feels archival and workmanlike, like text pulled from a well-used machine and handled paperwork. Its gentle roughness adds human warmth and a hint of grit, creating a familiar, old-document atmosphere without turning into overt distress.
Likely designed to recreate the look of mechanical typing with a slightly worn imprint, balancing dependable readability with the character of imperfect ink and impact. The goal appears to be an authentic, everyday texture that suggests paperwork, correspondence, and archival print.
The face holds together well in paragraphs, with a consistent texture that stays legible while preserving the characteristic uneven imprint. Capitals have a firm, poster-like stance, while lowercase forms keep a simple, practical construction; the overall effect is cohesive and intentionally imperfect.
