A slab-serif design with heavy, blunt terminals and softly rounded corners, giving the letterforms a slightly inked, worn-in look. Strokes stay largely even, with subtle irregularities at joins and terminals that mimic mechanical impact and ink spread. Counters are compact and the overall texture is dark and steady, with simple geometry and sturdy proportions across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
It performs well where a typewritten, documentary voice is desired—headlines, short paragraphs, captions, and callouts in posters or editorial layouts. The dark, sturdy texture also suits packaging, tags, and labeling systems that benefit from a vintage, utilitarian presence.
The font conveys a practical, no-nonsense tone with a strong vintage office and workshop feel. Its slightly distressed edges add a tactile, analog character that reads as human-used rather than pristine, suggesting paperwork, labels, and stamped ephemera.
Likely intended to recreate the look of printed output from mechanical typing—solid, slightly imperfect, and emphatically legible—while maintaining a consistent, grid-friendly rhythm for structured layouts.
The lowercase shows classic typewriter-style structure with sturdy bowls and short, firm serifs, while the capitals remain blocky and emphatic. Numerals are similarly weighty and straightforward, matching the overall dense color and consistent rhythm in running text.
