A monoline slab serif design with typewriter-like construction and clearly monospaced spacing. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with sturdy, squarish serifs and blunt terminals that feel mechanically stamped rather than delicately drawn. The outlines show purposeful irregularity—slight wobble, softened corners, and uneven ink spread—creating a subtly distressed print texture. Counters are open and uncomplicated, and the overall proportions read broad and steady, giving the characters a solid, poster-like presence while maintaining the strict rhythm of fixed-width spacing.
Works well when you want an unmistakable typed or mechanical feel in headlines, short paragraphs, and callouts. The textured edges make it especially effective for posters, cover designs, packaging labels, and branding accents that benefit from a vintage printed tone. For extended reading, it will be most comfortable at moderate sizes where the distressed detail doesn’t dominate.
The font conveys a vintage, utilitarian mood reminiscent of typed pages, carbon copies, and workshop documentation. Its worn edges and inky texture add a lived-in, archival character that feels honest and slightly gritty rather than polished. Overall it suggests practical communication with a nostalgic, analog edge.
The design appears intended to evoke classic typewritten output while adding a controlled, worn printing texture for atmosphere. It prioritizes consistent fixed-width rhythm and sturdy, readable letterforms, aiming for an authentic analog impression rather than a clean digital typewriter clone.
The distress is consistent across letters and figures, producing a cohesive “inked stamp” effect that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. The monospaced rhythm is strong in running text, giving lines a mechanical cadence typical of typewritten material.
