A monospaced serif design with blunt slab-like terminals and compact, evenly spaced proportions. Strokes are low-contrast and upright, with subtly irregular contours that mimic ink spread and mechanical wear, producing a lightly distressed edge. Counters are fairly open and letterforms stay straightforward and workmanlike, while the numerals and capitals maintain consistent width and a steady, typewriter-like rhythm across lines.
Works well for headlines, posters, title cards, and packaging that benefit from a typed-and-aged texture. It can also support editorial pull quotes or short passages where a documentary or retro administrative feel is desired, and it pairs naturally with clean sans or neutral serif companions for contrast.
The overall tone feels archival and analog, evoking typed documents, carbon copies, and well-used equipment. Its roughened texture adds a gritty, noir-leaning character that reads as practical, slightly weathered, and historically suggestive rather than polished or corporate.
This font appears designed to reproduce the look of mechanical type on paper, including the small imperfections of worn metal, uneven ink, and pressure variations. The intent is to deliver a familiar, document-like voice with added texture for atmosphere and period flavor.
The distress is consistent across the set, creating a cohesive texture without overwhelming the shapes. The design’s strong verticals and slab terminals help maintain clarity in short runs, while the uneven edges add visual noise that becomes more prominent at smaller sizes or in dense paragraphs.
