A monospaced slab-serif design with broad proportions and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms show softly rounded terminals and uneven, slightly rough contours that mimic ink spread and mechanical impact, giving edges a subtly distressed look. Counters are fairly open and geometry stays simple and consistent across the set, producing an even horizontal rhythm typical of fixed-width typography.
Works well for short-to-medium text where a typewritten voice is desired: pull quotes, titles, captions, and UI/label-style copy in themed designs. It also suits posters, packaging, and prop documents that benefit from an authentic, slightly worn imprint.
The overall tone feels retro and tactile, like text struck from a well-used machine or printed from an older office device. Its mild distress and inky presence add a human, documentary character that reads as practical, archival, and a bit gritty.
The design appears intended to capture the mechanical regularity of fixed-width typing while introducing just enough irregularity to suggest real-world printing artifacts. The goal is a readable, utilitarian texture with a clear vintage/analog mood.
Capitals carry a strong, blocky presence, while lowercase forms remain straightforward and highly regular in spacing. Numerals match the same sturdy construction and slightly softened corners, keeping the texture consistent across alphanumerics.
