A monoline, slab‑serif letterform with broad proportions and a distinctly roughened outline. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness, with squared terminals and compact, blocky serifs that read like mechanical impressions rather than carved detail. The counters are open and simple, while edges show purposeful irregularities—nicks, soft corners, and slight wobble—that create a stamped/ink-bleed effect. Overall spacing and rhythm feel systematic and fixed-width, with consistent advance and a steady horizontal cadence across text.
Well-suited for display and short-to-medium text where a typewritten, imperfect impression is desirable—posters, title sequences, book covers, packaging callouts, and editorial pull quotes. It can also work for UI labels or overlays when a documentary or archival vibe is intentional, especially where fixed-width rhythm supports tabular or list-like layouts.
The font conveys a vintage, workmanlike tone—part office machine, part evidence label. Its distressed texture adds grit and tension, leaning toward noir, crime-report, and industrial ephemera rather than polished editorial typography. The result feels assertive and documentary, with a subtly ominous, analog character.
The design appears intended to mimic a mechanical typewritten impression with visible wear, giving a reliable fixed-width structure while adding analog texture and attitude. It prioritizes immediacy and atmosphere over pristine precision, creating a strong thematic voice for period and narrative applications.
At text sizes the rough perimeter reads as paper-and-ink texture, while at larger sizes the irregular contour becomes a graphic feature. The numerals and capitals maintain the same blunt, stamped personality, keeping the overall voice consistent across mixed-case setting.
