A heavy, monoline typewriter-style slab serif with compact, squared proportions and a consistent, even rhythm. Serifs are blunt and rounded at the corners, with slightly irregular edges and softened terminals that suggest ink spread or worn metal type. Counters are relatively tight and the joins feel sturdy, producing dark, emphatic silhouettes across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals and capitals share a uniform, mechanical structure, while subtle wobble in curves and edges keeps the texture lively rather than perfectly geometric.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a typewritten look and strong ink presence are part of the message: posters, headlines, packaging, labels, menus, and editorial pull quotes. It can also work for titles in UI or branding contexts when a mechanical, analog voice is preferred over a clean modern mono.
The overall tone is vintage and workmanlike, evoking typed documents, shop labels, and analog ephemera. Its dark color and slightly distressed finish add a gritty, tactile character that feels archival, utilitarian, and a bit rebellious.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of a bold typewriter impression—consistent spacing and sturdy slab forms paired with subtle wear and inked edges for authenticity and texture.
Round letters like O, Q, and g show softened bowls and slightly uneven curvature, reinforcing the impression of physical imprint rather than digital perfection. The strong baseline presence and chunky serifs create a sturdy “stamp” effect that reads best when some texture is desirable.
