A monospaced slab-serif design with heavy, inky strokes and softly rounded corners that mimic the impression of striking through a ribbon. Serifs are blocky and compact, with slightly irregular edges that create a subtly worn texture across the alphabet and numerals. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is steady and mechanical, with a consistent set width and sturdy verticals. The figures are robust and simple, matching the letters’ blunt, utilitarian geometry.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short blocks of copy where a typewritten presence is desirable, such as book covers, magazine features, posters, and packaging. It also fits labeling systems and themed graphics that benefit from an industrial, analog texture, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the inky edges can be appreciated.
The face reads as mechanical and analog, with a nostalgic, workmanlike tone that evokes paperwork, receipts, and typed correspondence. Its slightly roughened finish adds a human, lived-in character—more archival and investigative than pristine or corporate.
Designed to capture the feel of classic typewritten output in a bold, graphic way, combining monospaced discipline with softened corners and lightly worn edges. The intention appears to balance straightforward readability with an unmistakable mechanical, printed-through-a-ribbon personality.
Texture appears uniform rather than random, suggesting a controlled “stamped/typed” effect rather than heavy distressing. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation (notably the single-storey forms and sturdy stems), supporting legibility while preserving the typewritten voice.
