A heavy, monolinear serifed design with compact proportions and a distinctly uneven printed edge. Strokes stay broadly consistent in thickness, but contours show soft waviness and small bite-like irregularities that simulate ink spread or worn impact. Serifs are short and slab-like with rounded joins, and counters are somewhat tight, giving the letters a dense, stamped look. Overall rhythm is steady and mechanical, with consistent character width and straightforward, upright construction.
Well-suited to display typography that benefits from tactile character: posters, book or album covers, packaging, and label-style graphics. It can also work for short editorial pulls or captions when an intentionally imperfect, archival typewriter mood is desired.
The font reads as emphatically analog and workmanlike, evoking imperfect impressions, re-inked ribbons, and repeatedly struck metal type. Its texture adds a gritty, lived-in tone that feels archival, industrial, and a little rough around the edges—more documentary than polished.
The design appears intended to capture the look of mechanical typing with real-world wear—an intentionally imperfect, ink-rich impression that prioritizes character and atmosphere over pristine geometry.
The distressed edge is consistent across letters and numerals, helping long passages maintain a cohesive “printed artifact” feel. The dense color and small interior apertures suggest it will look strongest at medium to large sizes where the texture can be appreciated without closing up.
