A heavy, slab-serif typewriter face with compact, blocky letterforms and strongly bracketed, squared terminals. The strokes have an intentionally uneven, inked texture: edges look slightly chewed, counters are irregular, and joins show small bulges that suggest worn metal type or imperfect inking. Curves are stout and simplified, with a steady rhythm and consistent character widths that reinforce a mechanical, set-width feel. Numerals match the robust, slightly distressed treatment, keeping a cohesive texture across lines of text.
Works well for display text that benefits from a tactile, mechanical feel—posters, packaging, product labels, title cards, and editorial headings. It can also serve short-form body copy when you want an intentionally gritty, typewritten texture, especially in print-oriented layouts.
The font conveys a gritty, analog tone—like stamped paperwork, workshop labels, or archival documents pulled from a file drawer. Its roughened contours add attitude and a sense of age without becoming illegible, creating a dependable but characterful voice.
Likely designed to evoke the look of vintage typewritten output with an aged, imperfect ink impression. The goal appears to be strong visual flavor and a dense typographic color while retaining the disciplined spacing and rhythm associated with set-width lettering.
The texture is strongest at terminals and along outer contours, producing a dark, mottled color that reads best with comfortable line spacing. Round letters keep fairly tight counters for the weight, while the slab serifs and bracketing help maintain clarity at text sizes despite the distressed detailing.
