A heavy, slab-serif typewriter face with compact, blocky letterforms and softly rounded corners. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal contrast, and terminals show slight irregularities that mimic ink spread or worn type. The shapes sit firmly on the baseline with sturdy horizontal slabs, open counters, and a steady mechanical rhythm that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
It works well for bold headlines, posters, and packaging where a vintage typewritten voice is desired. The consistent spacing and sturdy construction also support short editorial callouts, captions, or label-style text where a robust, analog texture can add personality without relying on decorative flourishes.
The overall tone feels vintage and tactile, like stamped text on paper. Its mild roughness adds an honest, workmanlike character while still reading friendly and approachable, giving it an archival, documentary flavor rather than a sleek digital one.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of mechanical type with a heavier imprint and subtly imperfect edges, prioritizing strong legibility and a dense, impactful typographic color. It aims to deliver an authentic, printed feel suitable for themed and retro-leaning compositions.
Uppercase forms are assertive and square-shouldered, while lowercase keeps the same stout construction for a cohesive texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same chunky, slightly softened style, maintaining a uniform color and strong presence at display sizes.
