A monospaced slab-serif design with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and pronounced, blunted terminals. The outlines show deliberate irregularity—slightly wavy contours, uneven joins, and soft notches that mimic ink spread or mechanical wear—while maintaining consistent cell width and a steady horizontal rhythm. Counters are moderately open and round, with compact proportions and clear, squared-off serifs that keep forms readable even with the distressed edge texture.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where a typewritten, tactile voice is desired—such as posters, book jackets, zines, menus, and product packaging. It can also work for UI badges or signage-style labels when a compact, monospaced rhythm helps alignment and structure.
The overall tone is analog and workmanlike, evoking printed ephemera, forms, and typed documents with a lightly weathered finish. Its imperfections add warmth and personality without tipping into illegibility, giving it a quietly rebellious, hands-on character suited to nostalgic or crafted narratives.
The design appears intended to capture the disciplined spacing and recognizable slab-serif cues of typed lettering while adding organic edge wear for character. It prioritizes consistent rhythm and straightforward construction, using controlled roughness to suggest age, repetition, and physical printing rather than a pristine digital finish.
The wear pattern appears integrated into the letterforms rather than applied as a separate texture, creating distinctive nicks at terminals and along curves. Numerals follow the same sturdy, slightly irregular construction, keeping the set cohesive across text and display sizes.
