A monolinear, slab-serif typewriter style with blunt terminals and slightly rounded, inked edges. The glyphs show subtle irregularities in stroke outlines—like softened corners, uneven impressions, and minor notches—creating a worn print texture while maintaining consistent width and steady rhythm. Counters are open and straightforward, and the overall construction is sturdy and workmanlike, with clear verticals, broad shoulders, and minimal modulation.
Well-suited to any design that wants a typed-document voice: screenplay formatting, faux forms, labels, and editorial pull quotes. It also works for posters, book covers, and packaging where a vintage, tactile print feel is desired, especially at medium sizes where the worn edges remain visible without overwhelming legibility.
The font conveys an analog, human-imperfect impression: archival, investigative, and a bit gritty. Its worn texture suggests aged paper, stamped labeling, or typed documents, balancing seriousness with a hint of character and atmosphere.
The design appears intended to mimic mechanical type impressions with slight wear, adding personality and narrative texture while preserving disciplined spacing and consistent character widths for practical composition.
Spacing feels even and predictable, supporting a steady typographic cadence in running text. The distressed edge behavior reads as part of the letterforms rather than added noise, so the texture stays coherent across the alphabet and numerals.
