A monoline serif design with slabby feet and compact, typewriter-like proportions, rendered with intentionally irregular contours. Strokes maintain a consistent weight but show ragged edges, soft corners, and occasional notches and voids that mimic worn metal type or uneven inking. Letterforms are upright and boxy, with sturdy verticals, short arms, and simple terminals; counters are slightly constricted by the textured silhouette, giving the text a dark, dense color. Numerals and capitals match the same rugged rhythm, producing a consistent, mechanically stamped feel across the set.
Works best for display typography where a worn, mechanical voice is desired—posters, headlines, title treatments, and thematic packaging or labeling. It can also add character to short bursts of text such as pull quotes or credits, especially when paired with a cleaner companion for body copy.
The overall tone is gritty and nostalgic, evoking mechanical writing, workshop labels, and well-used printing equipment. Its uneven inking texture adds a human, analog imperfection that reads as noir, archival, and slightly ominous depending on context.
The design appears intended to capture the look of a traditional typewriter or stamped lettering after wear: consistent structure and strong slabs combined with deliberate distress to suggest age, grime, and imperfect ink transfer.
Texture is a defining feature: edges appear chipped and blotchy rather than clean, so spacing and shapes feel lively and imperfect even in tightly set lines. The heavy color and distressed detail become more prominent at larger sizes, while smaller settings emphasize the dense, stamped rhythm over the individual roughness.
