A monoline serif design with compact, typewriter-like proportions and blunt terminals. Strokes show deliberate irregularity: edges look slightly eroded and inked-in, with subtle bumps and softened corners that mimic worn metal type or imperfect ribbon contact. Serifs are small and sturdy, and counters are open enough to stay readable, while the overall rhythm remains tightly spaced and mechanically consistent across characters.
Works well where a believable typewritten imprint is desirable: film/TV props, vintage-inspired posters, certificates, and product labels. It can also serve for short editorial passages, captions, or pull quotes when an intentionally tactile, mechanical texture is part of the design voice.
The font conveys an archival, analog tone—matter-of-fact and utilitarian, but with a human, weathered patina. Its slightly distressed printing texture suggests documents, receipts, labels, and period ephemera rather than pristine digital typesetting.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of typed output—consistent character widths and sturdy serif structures—while adding controlled wear to simulate real-world printing artifacts. The goal is legibility with atmosphere, prioritizing a convincing analog impression over perfectly clean contours.
Uppercase forms keep a restrained, functional silhouette, while the lowercase shows classic typewriter cues such as a single-storey a and a looping g. Numerals are simple and sturdy, matching the same roughened imprint and maintaining a cohesive, cohesive “imperfect print” color across lines of text.
