A heavy, monoline slab-serif design with compact internal counters and broad, blunt terminals. The letterforms are built from sturdy verticals and simplified curves, with a distinctly inked, slightly worn edge that creates subtle texture along stems and serifs. Corners read softly rounded and press-like, and the overall rhythm is even and mechanical, keeping each glyph visually consistent across the set.
Best suited to display settings where a strong, mechanical voice is desirable—posters, packaging, labels, and editorial headlines. It also works well for themed graphics such as faux typewritten notes, archival ephemera, and film/game props that benefit from a lightly worn imprint.
The font conveys an analog, workmanlike tone—evoking stamped labels, typed dossiers, and equipment markings. Its roughened edges add a weathered, imperfect character that feels archival and tactile rather than pristine.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of mechanical typing and ink transfer: sturdy slabs, consistent stroke weight, and a controlled roughness that suggests impact and printing pressure. The goal seems to be dependable readability paired with unmistakable vintage texture.
Round characters (like O and 0) stay very sturdy with small counters, and diagonals (like V, W, X) maintain the same dense, blocky weight as verticals. The texture is consistent enough to read as intentional distress rather than random noise, giving the face a cohesive printed/typed impression.
