A monospaced serif design with sturdy, blunt letterforms and rounded slab-like terminals. Strokes stay largely uniform in thickness, while subtle irregularities along the outlines create a worn, inked texture that recalls mechanical impact printing. Counters are open and simple, with straightforward, compact shapes and minimal flourish; spacing is consistent and grid-like, reinforcing a steady typewriter rhythm.
Well-suited to typewriter-coded layouts such as screenplays, manuscript pages, and retro-styled editorial excerpts. It also works for labels, packaging accents, and posters where a documentary, analog feel is desired, especially at medium sizes where the worn details remain legible.
The font conveys an analog, archival tone—practical and documentary, with a slightly weathered finish that feels authentic rather than polished. Its steady cadence and imperfect edges suggest paperwork, correspondence, and printed ephemera, lending text a lived-in, timeworn character.
The design appears intended to recreate the dependable cadence of a classic typewriter while adding a gently distressed print texture for atmosphere. It prioritizes consistent spacing and a firm, practical skeleton, aiming for believable vintage character in both display lines and running text.
The distressed contouring is moderate and consistent across letters and numerals, reading as print wear rather than heavy grunge. Uppercase forms feel robust and authoritative, while lowercase maintains the same mechanical regularity, keeping overall color even in paragraphs.
