A heavy, monolinear typewriter face with broad proportions and compact, boxy counters. Strokes end in blunt, slightly flared terminals and rounded corners, with small irregularities that suggest uneven inking or lightly distressed type. Curves are simplified and sturdy, and the overall rhythm is steady and mechanical, maintaining consistent character widths and a firm baseline presence.
Well-suited for short to medium-length text where a typewritten, slightly worn voice is desired—such as posters, book covers, packaging, labels, and editorial callouts. It also works effectively in themed designs that need an industrial or archival atmosphere without sacrificing overall legibility.
The font conveys a practical, workmanlike tone with a distinctly retro, inked-on-paper feel. Its roughened edges and solid color give it a gritty authenticity that reads as archival, utilitarian, and a bit handmade rather than pristine.
The design appears intended to evoke mechanical type and printed ephemera through sturdy proportions and subtle wear, delivering a dependable, no-nonsense texture for display and emphasis while retaining clear, straightforward shapes.
The texture appears subtle rather than heavily eroded, keeping letterforms clear while still adding character. Numerals and capitals share the same chunky, softened construction, reinforcing a cohesive stamped/typewritten impression.
