A heavy, monospaced slab-serif with blunt terminals and softly irregular contours that mimic ink spread and mechanical wear. Strokes are low-contrast and uniformly sturdy, with squared proportions and compact inner counters that stay open enough for clear word shapes. Serifs are short and blocky, and curves look slightly lumpy rather than perfectly geometric, giving the alphabet a stamped, tactile rhythm. Numerals match the same rugged construction, with rounded bowls and thick joins that keep color consistent across lines of text.
Works well where a strong, mechanical voice is useful: poster titles, packaging, labels, and editorial headlines that want a typewritten or stamped feel. It can also carry short to medium text in captions or pull quotes when a rugged, archival texture is desired, especially on uncoated-paper aesthetics or high-contrast layouts.
The overall tone feels like vintage office machinery and printed ephemera—practical, tough, and a little weathered. Its imperfect edges add character without turning into overt novelty, suggesting authenticity and hands-on craft.
Likely designed to evoke typewriter output with a bolder, more rugged presence—combining fixed-width structure with worn, inked outlines for a convincing analog impression in modern digital composition.
Spacing and advance widths are consistent, producing the steady beat associated with fixed-width typing. The distressed effect is subtle and integrated into the outlines, so the texture reads as natural variation rather than a separate overlay.
