A heavy, monoline slab-serif design with typewriter-like, fixed-width rhythm and squarish proportions. Strokes are thick and low-contrast, with blunt terminals and blocky serifs that read as stamped rather than delicately drawn. The contours are intentionally irregular: edges wobble slightly, counters vary subtly, and some joins show rough ink spread or distressed bite-outs, creating a lived-in texture across letters and numerals.
Works best for short to medium text where character and texture are desirable: posters, title cards, zines, editorial callouts, packaging, and period-themed graphics. It can also support faux-typewritten documents and on-screen props where a worn imprint helps sell authenticity.
The overall tone is utilitarian and nostalgic, evoking old paper, carbon copies, and hard-used office or workshop equipment. Its roughened imprint adds grit and attitude, leaning toward a noir/DIY feel rather than pristine neutrality.
Likely designed to capture the feel of mechanical typing with a bold, ink-worn imprint—prioritizing atmosphere and print-like texture while maintaining a steady, fixed-width structure.
The texture is consistent enough to feel deliberate, but varied enough to keep repeated letters from looking perfectly uniform. Numerals share the same chunky, stamped presence, and the punctuation and spacing in the sample text reinforce a steady, mechanical cadence.
