A blocky, monolinear design with generous proportions and squared counters, rendered with visibly distressed edges and uneven stroke boundaries. Corners are mostly softened by wear rather than rounded by geometry, and the texture suggests ink spread and abrasion across the character set. The overall rhythm is steady and highly consistent, with simple, sturdy forms that remain legible despite the rough finish.
Works well for posters, zines, album art, title cards, and packaging that benefits from an imperfect, tactile print vibe. It’s also a strong choice for UI or motion graphics when you want monospaced structure with a roughened, human edge—such as terminals, captions, or faux-typewritten overlays. Best used at medium to large sizes where the distressed texture can be appreciated without clogging.
This typeface gives off a gritty, analog feel, like text produced by an old typewriter or a well-used rubber stamp. The roughened outlines and slightly unstable ink impression add a human, imperfect tone that reads as candid, utilitarian, and a bit rebellious.
The design appears intended to simulate imperfect printing—letters that look repeatedly struck, slightly over-inked, and weathered through use. Its consistent construction paired with intentionally degraded edges suggests a controlled distress effect aimed at adding character without sacrificing readability.
The numerals and capitals share the same worn texture and sturdy construction, keeping a cohesive voice across mixed-case text. The distress is consistent enough to feel deliberate, with occasional thickened spots that resemble ink buildup at joins and stroke ends.
