A monolinear, slabby typewriter-style design with generous horizontal proportions and a steady, cell-like rhythm. Terminals are blunt and slightly rounded, with subtle irregularities that mimic inky impact and mild wear, giving strokes a soft, pressed edge rather than a perfectly clean outline. Curves are broad and open, counters are roomy, and the overall texture reads even and consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals without strong modulation or calligraphic influence.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a typewritten voice is desired: pull quotes, captions, title treatments, and brand copy with a retro or archival feel. It also works well in packaging, menus, posters, and book covers where its sturdy, inky texture can add atmosphere without sacrificing readability.
The font conveys a nostalgic, practical tone—like an old document, label, or stamped note—balanced by a friendly softness from its rounded corners and inky edges. Its mechanical structure feels dependable and matter-of-fact, while the lightly distressed finish adds warmth and a touch of lived-in character.
Likely designed to recreate the look of mechanical typing with a slightly worn imprint, combining consistent spacing and sturdy forms with just enough roughness to suggest real-world print and age. The goal appears to be a dependable, legible monospaced texture that brings instant period character to modern layouts.
The lowercase shows classic typewriter cues such as a single-storey “g” and sturdy, compact joins, while the numerals are similarly robust and legible with simple shapes and ample counters. The overall color on the page is dark and even, with small variations at terminals and corners creating a subtly textured print impression.
