A monospaced, typewriter-like serif design with sturdy slabby terminals and slightly irregular, ink-worn outlines. Strokes stay fairly even in weight, but edges show soft bulges, nicks, and mild blotting that mimic uneven impressions. Counters are compact and the overall color is dark and dense, with consistent cell-to-cell rhythm typical of fixed-width spacing. The numerals follow the same heavy, stamped feel, with simplified forms and rounded stress points where ink appears to pool.
Well-suited for designs that want an authentic typed texture: period-themed posters, title treatments, book covers, editorial pull quotes, labels, and branding that benefits from a gritty analog voice. It also works for short to medium text settings where the dark color and worn edges become part of the visual storytelling.
The texture and uneven impression evoke analog machinery, carbon copies, and archival paperwork, giving the face a vintage, workmanlike tone. Its dark, slightly grimy finish also reads as noir and investigative, with a tactile “typed on paper” immediacy.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of mechanical typing with natural print defects—uneven ink transfer, softened corners, and slightly battered contours—while keeping the disciplined rhythm and spacing of fixed-width composition.
Serifs are prominent and blocky, helping maintain legibility at display sizes while reinforcing the stamped aesthetic. The distress is consistent rather than chaotic, so words hold together as a coherent line of type even when set in longer passages.
