A monospaced slab-serif design with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and softened, slightly swollen terminals. The letterforms show gentle irregularities and blunted corners that mimic ink spread or worn type, giving counters a subtly uneven edge. Proportions are compact and steady, with a consistent cell-to-cell rhythm; curves are simple and robust, and joins are thickened in places, reinforcing a mechanical, stamped look.
Well-suited for layouts that want an unmistakably typed, tactile presence: editorial pull quotes, packaging copy, product labels, posters, or film/album credits. It can also work for short UI-like readouts or headings where a monospaced rhythm is desired and a slightly worn, printed texture adds character.
The overall tone feels archival and practical, like utilitarian text set on paper with visible bite and pressure. Its slight roughness adds a human, analog warmth while staying firmly structured and straightforward.
Likely designed to evoke mechanical typing and printed output while avoiding crisp digital perfection. The goal appears to be dependable legibility with a deliberately imperfect surface, creating an authentic, stamped-on-paper impression in both display lines and blocks of text.
Rounded slab feet and softened serifs reduce sharpness and contribute to a dark, even texture in paragraphs. The numerals and capitals maintain the same blunt, sturdy construction, supporting a consistent, no-nonsense voice across mixed content.
