A slab-serif, typewriter-like design with heavy, inked strokes and strongly irregular contours. The letterforms show rough, chipped edges and occasional interior bite marks that mimic worn type or over-inked printing, producing a lively, uneven silhouette across the line. Serifs are blunt and boxy, counters are relatively tight, and terminals often look slightly smeared or eroded, creating a textured rhythm that stays consistent from capitals through figures.
Well-suited to display settings where texture and attitude are desirable: posters, headlines, book or album covers, and packaging with an analog or retro theme. It can also work for short editorial callouts or logotypes when a rough-printed, aged-document look is needed, but the heavy texture may compete at very small sizes or in long passages.
The font communicates a tactile, analog character—evoking aged documents, rough impressions, and hand-pressed ephemera. Its distressed texture lends a gritty, noir-leaning tone that feels archival, rebellious, and intentionally imperfect rather than polished.
The design appears intended to emulate worn typewriter or letterpress output, capturing the artifacts of ink gain, damaged metal type, and uneven impressions. It prioritizes atmosphere and materiality while keeping a familiar slab-serif skeleton for dependable legibility.
Stroke texture appears applied uniformly to both stems and serifs, so even simple shapes pick up a mottled perimeter. Spacing and widths vary enough to feel human and mechanical at once, with the distressed edges doing much of the expressive work while the underlying structure remains sturdy and readable.
