A wide, slab‑serif design with unbracketed, rectangular serifs and sturdy, mostly monoline strokes. The outlines are intentionally irregular and faceted, with subtly wobbly edges and angled joins that create a stamped, slightly distressed texture rather than a polished geometric finish. Counters are open and somewhat angular, terminals tend to end bluntly, and the overall rhythm feels mechanical but handmade, with small variations that give text a gritty, printed presence.
Best suited for display settings where texture and personality are desirable, such as posters, album art, product packaging, badges, and branding that leans vintage or industrial. It can work for short paragraphs or pull quotes when a rough, typewriter-like voice is intended, but the heavy texture is most effective in titles, captions, and concise blocks of copy.
The font conveys a utilitarian, workshop feel—part typewriter, part stenciled signage—tempered by a quirky, hand-cut edge. Its roughened geometry adds character and a mild vintage flavor, suggesting practical labels, old equipment markings, or editorial “artifact” styling rather than sleek contemporary minimalism.
Likely designed to evoke bold slab-serif printing with a deliberately imperfect, hand-worked finish—combining the structure of a sturdy slab with the charm of uneven impression and faceted shapes. The goal appears to be strong presence and recognizability, prioritizing character and texture over pristine precision.
In running text the color is dark and assertive, with prominent slabs that hold lines together and create a strong baseline. The irregular contouring is consistent across letters and numerals, producing a deliberate “ink spread / worn impression” effect that becomes more apparent at larger sizes.
