A monoline-to-medium-contrast slab-serif design with generous set width and a steady, mechanical rhythm. Strokes end in blunt, rounded terminals and heavy slabs, with small irregularities that mimic ink spread and worn type—especially visible in the softened corners and slightly uneven inner counters. Curves are broad and open (notably in C, O, and e), while verticals stay sturdy and upright, giving the face a stable, workmanlike texture. Overall spacing and glyph structure read as strictly aligned and consistent, supporting a distinctly typewriter-like cadence in running text.
It suits applications that benefit from a credible typewriter or stamped-document voice: posters and flyers, editorial callouts, labels and packaging, and short-to-medium passages where texture adds character. The even rhythm and sturdy letterforms also make it useful for headings, captions, and retro-themed UI or interfaces where a mechanical feel is desired.
The font conveys an analog, archival tone—practical and readable, yet textured enough to feel human and timeworn. Its softened edges and stamped-looking weight create a nostalgic, document-like mood that suggests old forms, labels, or correspondence rather than pristine modern printing.
The design appears intended to reproduce the impression of mechanical typing with subtly degraded edges—combining dependable, slab-serif structure with gentle irregularity to evoke printed ephemera. Its proportions and consistent alignment prioritize steady readability while the softened contours add period flavor and tactility.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly condensed in detail despite the wide overall set, with prominent slabs on E/F/T and a characteristic, looped ampersand in the sample. Numerals are rounded and friendly with a clear, open “0” and a softly hooked “2,” reinforcing the worn-mechanical personality without becoming overly distressed.
