The design is monolinear with blunt, slab-like serifs and rounded terminals that soften the overall texture. Shapes feel slightly irregular and inked-in, as if struck through a ribbon, producing a subtly worn, mechanical impression while remaining clean and legible. Counters are open and proportions are steady, creating a consistent rhythm across letters and figures.
It works well for designs that benefit from a typed, archival, or procedural feel, such as labels, forms, faux-official paperwork, and interface elements that reference terminals or logs. It’s also well suited to posters, packaging accents, and editorial pull quotes where a vintage utilitarian voice is desired without sacrificing clarity.
This typeface conveys a practical, no-nonsense tone with a nostalgic, document-like presence. Its slightly uneven, stamped feel adds a human, analog character that reads as familiar and workmanlike rather than polished or corporate.
The font appears designed to emulate the straightforward utility of typed text while adding a touch of tactile imperfection. Its consistent spacing and sturdy letterforms prioritize dependable readability, with small irregularities included to suggest real-world printing or typing artifacts.
Numerals and capitals have a sturdy, slightly condensed presence with pronounced slab serifs that help maintain a strong baseline. In paragraph settings, the overall color stays even, with the subtle roughness providing texture without overwhelming the text.
