A monolinear, slabby serif design with compact, typewriter-like proportions and a steady mechanical rhythm. Strokes are low-contrast and upright, but the outlines show deliberate irregularities: softened corners, slight bulges, and uneven terminals that mimic ink spread and worn imprint. Counters are fairly open for the style, and the serifs read as short, blocky feet rather than sharp brackets, giving the letters a sturdy, stamped silhouette. Numerals follow the same rugged, slightly distressed contour language, keeping the set visually consistent in text.
Works well for headlines, captions, and themed copy where an analog, typed-on-paper feel supports the message—posters, editorial pull quotes, book covers, packaging, labels, and props for period or documentary-style design. It can also serve as a characterful UI or terminal-style accent when a tactile, imperfect print impression is intentional.
The overall tone feels archival and tactile—like a well-used office machine leaving imperfect impressions on paper. It conveys practicality and authenticity with a hint of grit, leaning into an understated vintage atmosphere rather than polished modernity.
The design appears intended to capture the look of mechanical typing with a lightly worn, inked imprint—maintaining a consistent gridlike rhythm while introducing organic roughness to avoid a sterile, purely digital feel.
In the sample text, the repeating irregular edge texture creates a subtle noise pattern that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. The sturdy slabs and softened joins help maintain legibility, while the distressed contours add character best suited to short-to-medium passages or display settings where texture is desired.
