A heavy, monoline slab-serif design with typewriter-like construction and generous, blocky proportions. Strokes stay low-contrast throughout, with rounded outer corners, blunt terminals, and slightly irregular contours that mimic ink spread and mechanical wear. Counters are compact and openings are relatively tight, giving the face a dense, punchy texture, while consistent character widths create a steady, mechanical rhythm across lines.
Well-suited to bold editorial headlines, poster copy, and short-to-medium bursts of text where a mechanical, printed texture is desirable. It also fits packaging, tags, and label-style graphics that benefit from an industrial, archival, or document-like tone.
The font conveys a retro, workmanlike mood—part office hardware, part stamped/inked ephemera. Its subtly distressed presence feels tactile and analog, suggesting documents, labels, and headlines produced by machines rather than screens.
The design appears intended to evoke classic typewriter output with a heavier, more graphic footprint, adding inked wear to create a tactile, reproduced-on-paper feel. Its consistent spacing and sturdy slabs prioritize impact and a recognizable mechanical rhythm over refinement.
The numerals are large and sturdy with the same softened, worn edges as the letters, keeping color consistent in mixed text. In the sample paragraph, the texture reads as intentionally imperfect rather than decorative, with a strong baseline and an even, repeating cadence typical of fixed-width settings.
