A monoline, upright design with squarish forms and generously rounded corners. Strokes keep a steady thickness but show visible edge breakup and slight wobble, creating a worn, inked texture as if from a rough ribbon or imperfect print. Counters are simple and open, with mostly straight-sided bowls and compact curves; curves and diagonals feel slightly softened rather than crisp. Spacing and widths vary modestly across glyphs, giving the text a natural, irregular rhythm while remaining highly legible in paragraphs.
Well-suited for headlines and short-to-medium text where a vintage, printed texture is desirable—such as posters, book covers, editorial callouts, packaging, and label-style graphics. It can also work for UI accents or captions when you want an intentionally imperfect, analog flavor without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is analog and workmanlike, with a vintage, document-oriented feel. The distressed edges add grit and tactility, suggesting age, handling, or imperfect reproduction rather than polished digital precision. It reads as approachable and practical, with just enough roughness to feel human and lived-in.
This design appears intended to mimic the character of older mechanical or stamped lettering with subtle wear, capturing the look of ink spread and irregular printing. The goal is a dependable, readable skeleton paired with surface texture that adds atmosphere and authenticity.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, squared construction that maintains clarity even with the textured outline. Numerals match the same rounded, stamped look, and punctuation carries the same softened, slightly blotty finish, helping long samples hold together as a cohesive voice.
