A sturdy monoline serif design with broad, typewriter-like proportions and a steady, grid-friendly rhythm. Strokes end in rounded slab-like feet and blunt terminals, with softly irregular contours that mimic ink spread and slight mechanical wear. Curves are open and simple, counters are generous, and joins stay straightforward, giving letters a practical, stamped look. The overall color is dense and even, with subtle edge wobble providing texture without breaking legibility.
Works well for titles and short passages where a typewritten, analog texture is desired—posters, packaging, labels, album/film credits, or editorial callouts. It can also add character to interfaces or mock documents where a mechanical, stamped tone helps establish setting and period.
The font conveys a tactile, analog feel—like typed documents, shipping labels, or old forms—mixing matter-of-fact clarity with a lightly distressed, lived-in tone. It reads as dependable and workmanlike, with a nostalgic undercurrent that suggests archival paperwork and mid-century office ephemera.
The design appears intended to reproduce the feel of mechanical typing with slightly imperfect inked edges and sturdy slab details, prioritizing consistency and clear rhythm while adding just enough texture to evoke physical imprinting.
Capitals are strong and blocky, while lowercase forms remain compact and consistent, maintaining a uniform cadence across the sample text. Numerals follow the same blunt, inked character, supporting a cohesive, utilitarian voice in mixed alphanumeric settings.
