A rough, distressed print face with monospaced spacing and a slight rightward slant. Letterforms are built from chunky strokes whose edges are uneven and chipped, creating a stamped/inked look with frequent breaks, nicks, and textured contours. Counters are generally open and simple, and terminals often end bluntly with ragged silhouettes. The overall rhythm stays consistent across the set, but each glyph shows organic variation in outline and weight distribution, reinforcing a hand-printed feel.
Works well for posters, flyers, album/cover art, and zine-style graphics where distressed texture is a feature. It’s effective for short headlines, labels, and UI elements that aim for a gritty or handmade mood, and can also be used for monospaced text blocks when a deliberately worn, typewriter-like presence is desired.
The texture and worn edges give the font an urgent, lo-fi attitude that reads as gritty and handmade. It suggests photocopied flyers, rubber-stamp impressions, and distressed typewriter output—expressive rather than polished. The slight slant adds motion and a casual, improvised tone.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect, ink-heavy printing—like a battered typewriter or stamped letters—while keeping monospaced discipline for alignment and consistent layout. Its primary goal is expressive texture and attitude rather than clean neutrality.
Because every character carries heavy texture, the face tends to darken quickly in paragraphs and can look denser at small sizes. Its uniform character widths create a steady, mechanical cadence that contrasts with the torn, inky surface, making it especially effective when the design wants both structure and grit.
