A monolinear, monospaced serif design with compact proportions and a steady, mechanical rhythm. Strokes show subtle irregularity and roughened edges, with occasional blobby joins and uneven terminals that suggest ink spread or worn metal type. Serifs are small and blunt, and curves (notably in rounded letters and numerals) feel slightly flattened and imperfect rather than geometrically clean. Overall spacing is consistent and cell-like, reinforcing a disciplined, typewriter-text texture even as the outlines remain softly distressed.
Well-suited to settings that benefit from a typed-document feel, such as editorial pull quotes, captions, menus, labels, and faux-archival layouts. It can also work in posters and title treatments where a controlled, monospaced rhythm and subtle distress help establish a period or documentary atmosphere.
The font conveys an unmistakably analog, archival tone—practical and matter-of-fact, with a patina of age. Its mild distortion and inky texture evoke typed documents, carbon copies, and paper ephemera, creating a nostalgic, documentary mood without becoming overly decorative.
Likely intended to emulate the look of mechanical typing with real-world imperfections—uniform advance widths paired with gently degraded outlines. The design aims for reliable readability while adding just enough wear and ink texture to feel printed, handled, and historically grounded.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and legible, while lowercase adds a touch more quirk through uneven curves and varied terminal behavior. Numerals carry the same worn finish, with rounded counters and slightly lopsided bowls that keep the texture consistent across mixed content. The overall color on the page stays even, with distress present but not so heavy that it overwhelms paragraph settings.
