A monoline, slab-serif typewriter style with compact, evenly timed spacing and a distinctly stamped silhouette. Strokes are heavy and relatively uniform, with blunt terminals and squared, bracketless serifs that read as slightly softened by ink spread. The contours show irregular edges and subtle wobble, giving counters a gently dented, organic feel while keeping an overall rigid, mechanical structure. Bowls are rounded but firm, and verticals dominate, producing a steady rhythm that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Works well for headlines, short paragraphs, and display copy where a typewritten, tactile texture is desirable—such as posters, book covers, product packaging, and editorial pull quotes. It’s especially suited to themes that benefit from a retro-document feel, but can also add character to straightforward branding and labels when used at comfortable sizes.
The font conveys a vintage, hard-working tone—like text produced by a well-used machine on porous paper. Its worn imprint and sturdy forms suggest authenticity, archival documents, and hands-on craft, with a hint of noir grit and workshop practicality.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of inked, slightly imperfect typewriter output while preserving clear, repeatable shapes and a dependable rhythm. The goal seems to be immediate legibility paired with a deliberately worn, printed texture for atmosphere and narrative.
The distressed inking effect is present throughout the set, creating texture without breaking letterforms. Numerals share the same stamped sturdiness and remain highly legible, and punctuation in the sample text reinforces the typewritten, impact-forward cadence.
