A monospaced roman with lightly built strokes and subtly uneven, roughened contours that mimic worn ink or degraded printing. Serifs are present but irregular and slightly blunted, with occasional wedge-like terminals and small spur details. Curves and joins show gentle wobble and texture, creating a broken-in rhythm while maintaining consistent character widths and a steady upright stance.
Works best for short-to-medium text where texture is desirable: horror or mystery titles, vintage posters, book covers, and cinematic/roleplay props such as letters, dossiers, and “typed” notes. It can also add character to pull quotes or headings in editorial layouts when a worn, analog feel is needed.
The overall tone feels vintage and gritty, like text pulled from an old typewriter, letterpress proof, or aged document. Its distressed edges add a faintly eerie, suspenseful flavor that reads as handcrafted and imperfect rather than sterile or technical.
The design appears intended to blend typewriter-like monospaced structure with deliberate surface wear, producing an aged, imperfect impression while staying readable. Its consistent spacing suggests controlled typesetting, while the distressed outlines provide the thematic character.
Texture is consistent across the set: counters stay open and legible, but stroke edges fray in a way that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes. The uniform advance widths create a mechanical cadence that contrasts with the organic distressing, making the font feel both structured and timeworn.
