A monospaced slab-serif design with stout, blocky letterforms and blunt, squared terminals. Strokes stay largely uniform, with soft swelling and slight pinching that suggests ink spread and mechanical impact. The outlines are intentionally irregular, creating roughened edges and subtle nicks that break perfect geometry while keeping consistent rhythm and spacing. Counters are compact and sturdy, and the overall texture reads dark and dense, especially in continuous text.
Works well for headlines, posters, and packaging where a vintage typed texture is desirable, as well as for labels, menus, and title cards that benefit from a utilitarian, archival voice. It can also serve as an accent face in editorial layouts for pull quotes or side notes when a mechanical, worn-in atmosphere is needed.
The font conveys an analog, utilitarian tone reminiscent of stamped or typed documents. Its worn, imperfect imprint adds a lived-in, archival feel—practical rather than refined—evoking paperwork, labels, and workshop notes. The steady monospaced cadence keeps it straightforward and technical, while the distressed edges introduce grit and character.
Likely intended to emulate the visual character of typewritten output with a slightly battered, inked impression. The goal appears to be preserving monospaced discipline while adding irregularity and texture for a more authentic, humanized mechanical look.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly condensed in their internal spaces, while lowercase maintains a clear typewriter-like structure with simple, workmanlike shapes. Figures are bold and legible with the same uneven inking, which creates a strong, tactile texture at larger sizes and a deliberately noisy color at smaller sizes.
