A heavy, monoline typewriter face with blocky slab-like terminals and visibly uneven edges that mimic ink spread and mechanical impact. Letterforms are compact and sturdy, with rounded corners, slightly pinched counters, and subtle wobble in verticals and curves that keeps the rhythm lively while staying highly regular in spacing. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a dark, dense color and a distinctly printed impression.
Works well for headlines, cover typography, and short passages where a typewritten, distressed voice is desired—such as posters, zines, editorial pull quotes, and music or event materials. It can also add texture to branding, packaging, and labels where a stamped or archival tone supports the concept.
The font evokes an analog, hands-on feel—like paperwork run through an old machine, or text stamped onto packaging. Its worn texture reads as gritty and a bit rebellious, lending authenticity and a humanized roughness to otherwise strict, mechanical forms.
The design appears intended to recreate the visual artifacts of mechanical typing—impact-heavy strokes, softened corners, and uneven ink—while maintaining a disciplined, grid-like cadence. It prioritizes character and atmosphere over pristine precision, offering a believable “printed by machine” look.
The distressed contours appear integrated into the glyph shapes rather than added as separate noise, so the roughness stays readable at display sizes while becoming more textured as size increases. Numerals are simple and robust with the same ink-worn character, supporting a cohesive, all-purpose set for short blocks of text.
