A heavy, monoline display face with typewriter-like proportions and a distinctly irregular silhouette. Strokes are thick and low-contrast, with rounded, soft corners and subtly bumpy edges that suggest ink spread or worn impact. Counters are compact and slightly uneven, and the baseline/shoulder shapes feel gently wavy rather than strictly geometric, creating a lively, hand-pressed rhythm while staying visually consistent across the set.
Best suited to short-to-medium text in posters, headlines, and branding moments where an analog, typewriter-stamped character is desirable. It can also work for packaging, book covers, and merchandise graphics where the built-in roughness adds warmth and authenticity; for long reading, use larger sizes and looser spacing to keep counters from filling in.
The overall tone is retro and tactile, evoking imperfect impressions and analog printing. Its roughened edges and friendly, rounded massing read as informal and characterful, with a hint of grit that can skew toward quirky or noir depending on color and layout.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of mechanical typing or stamped lettering with an intentionally imperfect, inked impression. It prioritizes personality and texture over crisp precision, aiming for a bold, vintage voice that still maintains a regular, repeatable rhythm.
The texture is built into the letterforms rather than added as an overlay, so the distressed feel remains present even at larger sizes. The boldness and compact interior spaces make it most comfortable with generous tracking and line spacing when used in paragraphs.
