A heavy, monoline serif typewriter face with compact proportions and an even, mechanical rhythm. The strokes are intentionally uneven, with ragged edges, blotting, and small nicks that mimic ink spread and worn type, creating a consistently distressed texture across the set. Serifs are chunky and squared-off, terminals are blunt, and counters remain fairly open despite the dense color. The overall drawing keeps a steady, grid-like cadence suitable for fixed-spacing layouts while preserving a tactile, imperfect print character.
Works well for display-oriented settings where a tactile typewriter look is desired: posters, title cards, album art, labels, packaging accents, and editorial pull quotes. It’s also well-suited to faux-document artifacts such as forms, stamped notes, and period-style UI or game props where a rough printed texture adds atmosphere.
The font conveys a gritty, archival mood—part period typewriter, part worn rubber-stamp impression. Its rough texture and dark tone feel documentary and suspenseful, evoking utilitarian paperwork, clandestine notes, and aged print ephemera.
This design appears intended to recreate the character of a well-used typewriter: sturdy, fixed-spacing structure combined with visible wear, ink spread, and imperfect printing. The goal is a strong, high-impact texture that reads quickly while signaling age, authenticity, and mechanical provenance.
The distressing appears integrated into the letterforms rather than applied as random noise, so repeated characters keep a recognizable silhouette while still showing irregular inked edges. At smaller sizes the texture can visually thicken joins and reduce interior detail, while at larger sizes it reads as deliberate wear.
