A heavy, slabby letterform with compact counters and blunt, rounded terminals that feel stamped rather than drawn with a pen. Strokes stay broadly even with softened corners and subtle irregularities along curves and joins, giving a slightly worn, inked impression. Serifs are short and blocky, and the overall silhouettes are squat and confident, with strong black shapes and simple internal structure that keeps the alphabet highly uniform in texture.
It works best for short, high-impact text where a retro mechanical feel is desirable—posters, bold headings, title cards, packaging, and label-style layouts. The dense, inky texture also suits branding accents and merchandise graphics where a sturdy, tactile impression is more important than delicate detail.
The face conveys a vintage, mechanical energy with a friendly roughness—like old office impressions, rubber stamps, or well-used typewritten headings. Its chunky shapes and softened details read informal and approachable, while the sturdy rhythm adds a bold, utilitarian attitude.
The design appears intended to emulate a bold typewriter or stamped output with a deliberately imperfect ink impression, balancing strong legibility with a nostalgic, hands-on texture.
The distressed character is mild and consistent, showing up mainly as uneven edges and slightly imperfect curves rather than dramatic grunge. Numerals match the same stout, simplified construction, maintaining a cohesive, poster-like color across mixed text.
