A monolinear, monospaced serif with blunt, bracket-like terminals and gently uneven stroke edges that mimic ink spread or lightly worn type. Curves are slightly squarish and flattened, with restrained overshoots and compact counters that keep the rhythm tight and mechanical. The texture is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a subtly distressed, printed look without becoming illegible at text sizes.
Well-suited to headings, pull quotes, and short-to-medium text where a typewritten or document-like voice is desired. It works especially well in packaging, signage, and editorial layouts that benefit from a slightly distressed print texture, and it can support props or UI motifs that reference forms, receipts, and analog equipment.
The overall tone feels archival and workmanlike, evoking typed forms, labels, and utilitarian documents. Its mild roughness adds a human, tactile quality that reads as lived-in and authentic rather than polished.
The design appears intended to capture the rhythm and presence of mechanical typing while adding a controlled worn/inked finish for character. It prioritizes consistent spacing and a sturdy silhouette to keep text clear while still feeling tactile and vintage.
Uppercase forms stay sturdy and blocky, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, no-nonsense construction with minimal stylistic flourish. Numerals match the same stamped texture and proportions, helping mixed-content settings feel cohesive.
