A heavy, monoline, typewriter-like design with compact proportions and sturdy slab terminals. Strokes are rounded at the corners and slightly irregular, as if inked through a ribbon, giving counters and joins a subtly worn, stamped texture. Curves are broad and simplified, with sturdy bowls and minimal taper, while verticals and horizontals keep a consistent weight for an even, mechanical rhythm. Figures and letters sit squarely with a strong baseline presence, emphasizing solidity and impact.
Well suited to posters, headlines, and short blocks of text where a typed, industrial voice is desired. It works particularly well for packaging, labels, chapter openers, and editorial callouts that benefit from a sturdy, vintage-mechanical texture. For longer copy, it will be most effective when line spacing is generous to let the dense, dark forms breathe.
The overall tone is archival and workmanlike, evoking typed labels, forms, and shop stencils with a touch of age and grit. It feels pragmatic and no-nonsense, but the softened edges and mild roughness add warmth and nostalgia rather than clinical precision.
This font appears designed to recreate a classic typewriter impression—solid, monospaced structure with slightly imperfect edges—combining dependable legibility with an intentionally tactile, printed-through-a-ribbon character.
The texture reads as controlled distress rather than heavy damage, so the face stays legible while still signaling analogue production. The bold color and wide slabs give it strong word-shape at display sizes, with a deliberate, percussive cadence in running text.
