A heavy, monospaced italic with chunky, rounded forms and softly irregular edges that mimic ink spread or worn type. Strokes are broad and fairly even, with minimal contrast and pronounced, blobby terminals that give each glyph a stamped, cut-out feel. Counters are compact and sometimes pinched, producing dense, dark word shapes; the rhythm stays consistent thanks to fixed character widths. The italic slant is steady across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a continuous forward pull in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where its dense texture and italic momentum can work as a graphic element—posters, cover art, packaging, and bold editorial callouts. It can also serve as a themed accent for retro or analog-inspired layouts, but is less ideal for long-form reading or small UI text due to its heavy color and compact counters.
The overall tone feels vintage and mechanical, like an old typewriter ribbon laid down with extra pressure. Its softened roughness reads informal and expressive rather than precise, bringing a slightly gritty, handmade energy that still retains typewriter-like order.
The design appears intended to evoke typewriter output with an exaggerated, ink-heavy impression—combining monospaced discipline with a worn, characterful surface. It prioritizes attitude and recognizable analog texture over crisp neutrality.
Capitals and lowercase share a unified, weighty color, and punctuation/figures appear designed to match the same swollen, inked-in texture. At smaller sizes the tight counters and heavy mass can reduce clarity, while at display sizes the texture becomes a key part of the personality.
