A monoline slab-serif design with compact, squarish proportions and a visibly worn, inked edge. Strokes are sturdy and fairly even, with small bracketed feet and blocky terminals that create a mechanical, stamped rhythm. Counters stay open and functional, while outlines show irregularities and soft bite marks that mimic uneven impression and ink spread. The overall texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving lines of text a steady, grid-like cadence with a rough surface character.
Well-suited to titles and short blocks of text where texture is part of the message—such as posters, book and album covers, film/TV titling, and editorial pull quotes. It can also work for labels, packaging, and branding that wants a rugged, analog document aesthetic rather than a clean technical voice.
The font reads as practical and workmanlike, but with a gritty, archival patina. Its distressed edges and stamped forms evoke typed documents, investigative notes, and industrial labeling, leaning toward a slightly ominous, noir-leaning atmosphere.
The design appears intended to capture the look of mechanically produced lettering with visible wear, blending functional monospaced structure with an intentionally imperfect printed texture. The goal is legibility and consistency while foregrounding a tactile, aged impression.
Capitals feel sturdy and authoritative, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar forms through slab details and simple, blunt joins. Numerals follow the same worn treatment, supporting a cohesive, document-like tone across mixed content.
