A monoline, monospaced serif design with compact, slab-like terminals and softly rounded corners. The outlines show intentional irregularity: edges look slightly eroded, counters are a bit bumpy, and strokes vary subtly in thickness as if ink spread or a worn imprint softened the forms. Proportions are broad and steady with consistent set width, producing a strong horizontal rhythm and a firmly mechanical cadence. Numerals and capitals are sturdy and straightforward, while the lowercase maintains clear, workmanlike shapes with modest detailing and no flourish.
Works well for editorial layouts, captions, and pull quotes that want a typed, archival feel, as well as posters and headlines where the worn texture can carry mood. It also suits packaging, labels, and branding systems aiming for analog credibility—especially when paired with simple layouts and generous spacing.
The overall tone feels archival and hands-on, evoking typed documents, carbon copies, and imperfect printing. The texture adds grit and immediacy, suggesting authenticity, age, and a slightly rough, documentary character rather than polished neutrality.
The design appears intended to mimic the imperfect imprint of mechanical typing or rough printing, balancing strict monospace structure with organic wear. It prioritizes a documentary, tactile impression while keeping letterforms sturdy and legible for practical use.
The distressed contouring is consistent across the set, creating a coherent “imprinted” look that remains readable at text sizes while becoming more characterful at larger sizes. The wide stance and heavy terminals help hold the page in dense paragraphs and create a distinctive, stamped presence in short lines.
