A monospaced serif design with blunt slab-like terminals and softly irregular outlines that mimic ink spread or worn type. Strokes are generally even in thickness with minimal contrast, and the letterforms sit upright with a steady, mechanical rhythm. Counters are moderately open, corners are rounded off rather than sharply cut, and the overall texture shows consistent edge wobble that reads as deliberate distress rather than randomness.
It works well for typewriter-style quotes, captions, and short passages where texture is welcome, as well as for period-inspired props, editorial pull-quotes, and title treatments. The consistent spacing and sturdy shapes also suit labels, notices, and design systems aiming for a stamped or office-document feel.
The font conveys an analog, archival tone—part utilitarian, part nostalgic—like a well-used machine imprint on paper. Its slightly battered contours add grit and human warmth while retaining a disciplined, mechanical cadence.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of mechanical typing with subtle degradation—maintaining monospaced discipline while introducing worn edges to suggest age, use, and physical printing artifacts.
Capitals feel sturdy and blocky, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation with straightforward forms and minimal flourish. Numerals follow the same worn imprint character, giving text a cohesive, print-stamped color across lines.
