A heavy, monoline slab-serif design with fixed-width spacing and a compact, blocky build. Strokes are thick and largely even, with blunt terminals and squared serifs that read as stamped rather than drawn. Edges are intentionally irregular, showing rough contours, small nicks, and uneven inking that give each glyph a slightly broken-in texture while keeping consistent rhythm and alignment across the set. Counters are relatively tight and the overall silhouette stays sturdy and upright.
Well suited for display settings where a rugged typewritten feel is desirable: poster headlines, album or book covers, packaging, labels, and themed graphics that aim for an aged document or industrial ephemera look. It can work for short blocks of text when you want the texture to be part of the message, rather than for clean long-form reading.
The overall tone feels analog and workmanlike, evoking typed documents, carbon copies, and worn machinery labels. The distressed outlines add a gritty, archival character—more found-and-used than pristine—while the strong weight keeps it assertive and attention-getting.
Likely designed to recreate the feel of a well-used typing mechanism and imperfect ink transfer, pairing strict fixed-width structure with deliberately roughened contours. The intent appears to balance legibility and consistency with a strong tactile, worn print personality.
The texture is consistent enough to maintain uniform color in paragraphs, but the roughness is always visible at display sizes. Numerals and capitals keep a sturdy, sign-like presence, and the spacing reinforces a rigid, mechanical cadence.
