A monospaced serif design with sturdy, upright letterforms and a distinctly inked, irregular edge. Strokes show subtle modulation and slight wobble, with blunted terminals and small slab-like feet that read as type-impressed rather than drawn with a smooth pen. Counters are open and generally generous, while curves and joins carry mild distortions that create a consistent, lightly distressed texture across lines. The overall rhythm is even and grid-friendly, with each glyph occupying similar horizontal space and producing a steady, mechanical cadence in text.
Well-suited for editorial callouts, posters, and packaging or labels that want an authentic typed or archival feel. It also fits UI mockups, film/scene props, and any layout where a monospaced rhythm and mechanical texture support the concept without sacrificing readability.
The face conveys a vintage, utilitarian tone reminiscent of typed documents, field notes, and archival ephemera. Its roughened outlines and slightly uneven inking add a tactile, imperfect character that feels human and analog rather than digitally pristine.
Likely designed to recreate the look of mechanical typing with subtle wear and uneven inking, delivering a dependable monospaced structure while adding period texture and personality for thematic typography.
The distressed effect is integrated into the forms (not random splatter), showing repeated nicks and soft bulges along stems, bowls, and serifs that remain legible at typical text sizes. Figures and capitals maintain a consistent presence, helping the font hold up in blocks of copy while still projecting a worn, stamped personality.
