A monoline slab-serif design with chunky, squared terminals and a distinctly mechanical rhythm. The letterforms are built from sturdy verticals and rounded corners, with small bracketing and foot-like serifs that read as typebar impressions rather than crisp book serifs. Edges appear slightly uneven and blotted, producing subtle swelling and nicks that mimic ink spread and wear. Counters are compact and apertures are moderately open, keeping the texture dense and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited for headlines, short paragraphs, and display text where a typewritten presence is desirable—such as posters, book covers, editorial features, packaging, labels, and props for period or archival themes. The worn texture can add character in branding or titling, especially when a clean modern sans would feel too polished.
The overall tone evokes vintage documentation and practical, no-nonsense communication, with a slightly rough, lived-in surface. It feels archival and tactile—like text struck onto paper—bringing an understated grit that can lean toward suspenseful or investigative moods without becoming overtly decorative.
The design appears intended to capture the look of mechanical typing with softened edges and slight ink irregularities, prioritizing an authentic printed texture and steady monospaced cadence over pristine geometric precision.
The grid sample shows consistent cell-to-cell spacing and a steady cadence, while the text sample emphasizes a strong horizontal banding from the slab serifs and the dark color of the strokes. Numerals match the same heavy, stamped character, helping mixed-content lines maintain a uniform, mechanical presence.
