A monoline, slabby serif design with sturdy, blunt terminals and a deliberately uneven printed edge. Strokes stay relatively consistent in thickness, while counters and joins show slight roughness that mimics ink spread and mechanical impact. The letterforms are compact and upright with broad proportions, square-ish curves, and simple construction; serifs read as small, blocky feet rather than refined brackets. Overall spacing and rhythm feel steady and mechanical, with just enough irregularity at the contours to keep it from looking digitally perfect.
Well-suited to projects that want a typed, documentary flavor in longer passages—editorial pull quotes, packaging copy, captions, and printed ephemera aesthetics. It also works effectively for headings on posters or flyers when a utilitarian, slightly worn tone is desired, and for UI-like labeling where a steady mechanical rhythm is helpful.
The font conveys an analog, workmanlike tone—practical and documentary, with a lightly distressed texture that suggests real-world handling. It feels archival and matter-of-fact rather than decorative, evoking typed notes, forms, labels, and utilitarian print artifacts.
Likely designed to capture the look of mechanical typing with a subtly imperfect, ink-on-paper edge, prioritizing consistency and readability while adding just enough texture to feel authentic and tactile.
In text settings the slightly ragged edges create a consistent “inked” color across lines, lending character without becoming overly noisy. Numerals and capitals maintain the same blunt, no-nonsense voice as the lowercase, reinforcing a cohesive, mechanical rhythm.
