A monospaced serif design with broad proportions, sturdy verticals, and blunt, slab-like terminals. The strokes show lightly irregular edges and soft, inky spread that mimics worn type and imperfect impressions, creating a subtle texture even at text sizes. Counters are open and simple, with straightforward curves and minimal detailing, keeping the rhythm steady and legible while preserving a roughened, printed character.
Works well where a typed, archival tone is desired: editorial pull quotes, headlines, and short paragraphs; poster and cover typography; packaging and labels that benefit from a tactile print feel; and title cards or props that need a believable “typed” artifact. The distressed edges also help add atmosphere in branding systems that lean vintage or utilitarian.
The font conveys an analog, archival mood—evoking typed pages, carbon copies, and well-used office equipment. Its slightly battered texture adds grit and a documentary realism that can feel investigative or noir, while still reading as practical and matter-of-fact.
Likely designed to reproduce the look of mechanical typing with visible wear and ink gain, balancing dependable readability with a deliberately imperfect, printed texture. The wide set and blunt slab serifs emphasize sturdiness and presence while keeping the overall voice functional and direct.
Texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, suggesting intentional wear rather than random noise. The numerals are clear and workmanlike, matching the overall blunt serif construction, and the family maintains a steady horizontal rhythm typical of fixed-width typography.
