A heavy, monoline typewriter-style design with broad proportions and compact, slab-like terminals. Letterforms are built from thick strokes with softened corners and visibly irregular outlines, creating a slightly wobbly silhouette and uneven counters. The texture reads as ink spread or worn imprint: edges look blotted, curves are slightly lopsided, and joins feel blunt rather than sharp. Overall spacing and rhythm stay steady and mechanical, while the contours introduce an organic, distressed character.
Well-suited to short-form display settings where texture is a feature: posters, album art, zines, packaging, and branding accents. It can also work for themed interfaces or captions when a vintage, stamped typewriter mood is desired, but the distressed edges suggest using it at moderate-to-large sizes for best clarity.
The font evokes vintage typing and analog reproduction—part archival, part handmade. Its blotty, uneven ink feel adds grit and personality, giving text a lo-fi authenticity that can read as rustic, playful, or subtly ominous depending on context.
Designed to blend the dependable rhythm of typewritten forms with an intentionally imperfect, ink-worn surface. The goal appears to be a bold, characterful voice that feels reproduced, stamped, or aged rather than clinically digital.
The caps appear compact and weighty with strong, blocky stems, while lowercase forms keep the same chunky structure and softened terminals. Numerals match the same stamped-ink texture and maintain a consistent visual color across lines of text.
