A monoline, slab-serif typewriter style with rounded shoulders and softened corners, rendered with an intentionally uneven, ink-worn edge. Strokes show subtle bulging and small nicks that create a stamped or inked texture, while counters remain fairly open for a sturdy, readable silhouette. The overall rhythm is steady and regular, with compact, workmanlike proportions and prominent slab terminals that reinforce a mechanical, imprinted feel.
Well-suited to headlines and short passages where a vintage typed impression is desired, such as posters, book and album covers, editorial pull quotes, packaging, and identity work for heritage or craft-oriented brands. It can also add character to UI labels or captions when legibility and an analog mood are both important.
The font conveys an analog, archival tone—like typed pages, carbon copies, or aged labels—mixing practicality with a slightly gritty, lived-in character. Its distressed edges add a sense of history and physicality, suggesting handmade imperfections rather than digital cleanliness.
The design appears intended to recreate the feel of mechanical typing and printed ephemera, emphasizing a consistent monospaced rhythm while introducing controlled wear to mimic ink spread and imperfect strikes.
Uppercase forms feel blocky and authoritative, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, no-nonsense structure. Numerals and punctuation carry the same ink-pressed irregularities, helping long passages maintain a consistent, tactile texture rather than appearing pristine.
