This typeface features sturdy slab-serifs and a compact, typewriter-like skeleton with visibly softened corners and slightly irregular outer contours. Strokes are heavy and even, with low contrast and a consistent rhythm from glyph to glyph, while subtle “ink spread” bulges and nicks give the shapes a printed, lived-in texture. Counters are generally open and simple, and terminals often end in blunt, rounded forms rather than sharp cuts, reinforcing a mechanical yet worn impression.
Best suited for short-to-medium settings where a strong, old-document or mechanical tone is desired—such as posters, title cards, packaging, or editorial pull quotes. It can also work for credits and UI accents when the design calls for a retro typewritten texture rather than a clean system mono.
The overall tone feels vintage and workmanlike, with a gritty, analog texture reminiscent of stamped or typed documents. Its dark color and slightly distressed edges add a noir, archival character that reads as practical rather than polished.
The design appears intended to evoke the character of mechanical typing and imperfect print reproduction, combining sturdy slabs with subtle wear to create a dependable, atmospheric voice.
The letterforms keep a steady cadence and predictable spacing that supports a typewritten feel, while the mild edge wobble prevents it from looking purely geometric. Numerals match the same sturdy, slabbed construction and carry the same softened, inked-in finish, maintaining a cohesive texture across mixed text.
