A heavy, slab‑serif typewriter face with compact, uniform character widths and a sturdy, squared rhythm. Strokes are dense and largely even, with subtly rounded corners and blunt terminals that read like inked impressions rather than sharp vector cuts. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and the lowercase shows a tall x‑height with short ascenders and descenders, keeping lines visually solid and consistent. Small irregularities along edges and joins create a lightly worn, stamped texture without breaking legibility.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a typewritten voice is desired—posters, packaging, labels, pull quotes, and editorial headings. It can also work for faux-document layouts, forms, and interface moments where a monospaced, mechanical cadence helps structure information.
The overall tone is mechanical and archival, evoking paperwork, labels, and typed documents with a slightly weathered, hands-on feel. Its sturdy presence feels practical and no‑nonsense, with just enough roughness to suggest age, use, or physical printing.
The design appears intended to capture the solid, inked impression of a classic typewriter style, prioritizing uniform spacing and a strong page presence. The slight edge wear and softened corners add character while keeping the overall construction clear and dependable.
Numerals are robust and straightforward, matching the same blunt, slabbed construction as the letters. The texture appears consistent across the set, so longer passages maintain an even gray value while still showing a subtle “typed” character.
