A heavy, monolinear slab-serif design with rounded terminals and soft, slightly swollen corners that mimic ink spread. The outlines are intentionally irregular, with subtle nicks and waviness along stems and curves, creating a worn, stamped impression rather than clean digital geometry. Counters are moderately open and generally circular, while joins stay simple and sturdy; overall spacing and rhythm remain steady in running text, with a consistent, mechanical cadence.
Well-suited for headlines, short passages, and display text where a vintage document or typewritten effect is desired—such as posters, editorial callouts, packaging, and cover designs. It also works for UI/props and themed graphics that benefit from a convincing, inked texture, while remaining legible at moderate text sizes.
The font conveys an analog, lived-in typewritten mood—practical and matter-of-fact, but with a gritty, imperfect texture that feels archival and human. Its slightly blotched forms suggest documents, labels, and notes produced under real-world conditions rather than pristine print.
The design appears intended to emulate mechanical typing with real ink and paper artifacts—prioritizing a consistent, sturdy structure while adding controlled irregularities to suggest age, wear, and tactile print texture.
The distressed edge behavior is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping long passages retain character without looking randomly degraded. The slab-like feet and rounded shoulders keep the tone friendly and approachable even at large sizes where the texture becomes more apparent.
