A monolinear, slab-serif typewriter face with sturdy stems, rounded corners, and slightly softened terminals. The letterforms show deliberate irregularity: edges wobble, counters are slightly uneven, and stroke boundaries look inked-in rather than perfectly mechanical. Serifs are short and blocky with subtle bracketing, and the overall proportions feel compact with generous internal spacing that keeps shapes readable. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing an intentionally imperfect, printed impression.
Well-suited for short-to-medium text where a vintage mechanical feel is desired, such as posters, cover lines, pull quotes, and titling. It also works effectively for packaging, labels, and props that need an aged or stamped look, and for credit blocks or UI elements where a textured monospaced voice is appropriate.
The font conveys an analog, lived-in character—practical and workmanlike, with a hint of noir and archival authenticity. Its worn contours suggest carbon copy, stamped paperwork, or aged mimeograph output, bringing a tactile, documentary tone to text.
The design appears intended to recreate the rhythm and presence of classic typewritten output while adding a controlled, distressed edge that suggests real ink spread and wear. It prioritizes recognizable typewriter structure and consistent spacing, using texture and softened shapes to deliver atmosphere.
In longer settings, the repeated distress pattern creates a steady visual grain that reads as texture more than ornament. The numerals and punctuation share the same softened, uneven contouring, helping the set feel cohesive for dense, text-heavy use.
