A slab-serif monospaced design with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and broad proportions. Letterforms are mostly upright with compact counters and blunt terminals, while the edges show consistent irregularity that mimics ink spread or worn type, producing a textured silhouette. The rhythm is strongly mechanical and evenly spaced, with a stable baseline and clearly separated characters.
Works well for posters, titles, and packaging that benefit from a typed or dossier-like voice, as well as editorial pull quotes, captions, and UI moments where a monospaced, mechanical cadence is desired. It’s especially effective for mystery/noir themes, archival or legal-document styling, signage, and labels. The textured edges can become visually busy at very small sizes, so it’s best where its rough print character can be appreciated.
This face evokes the matter-of-fact tone of typed paperwork and workshop labels, with a subtle sense of age and tactility. The slightly rough, imperfect ink edges give it a utilitarian, lived-in feel that reads as archival, investigative, and a bit gritty rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture the look of real typed output—uniform spacing and sturdy slab forms—while adding believable imperfections for a more human, analog impression. It prioritizes clear, workmanlike shapes and a consistent texture that suggests repeated use and printing artifacts.
The lowercase is relatively compact and sturdy, and the numerals share the same stamped texture and even width, reinforcing the typewritten feel. Overall texture remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping long lines of text maintain a coherent, deliberately imperfect color.
