A heavy, monolinear typewriter face with compact counters and sturdy slab-like terminals. The outlines are intentionally irregular, with rough edges, uneven corners, and slight bulges that mimic ink spread and worn type. Letterforms keep a steady mechanical rhythm and consistent set width, while the distressed contouring adds a lively, imperfect texture across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same rugged construction, reading clearly despite the weathered surface.
This font excels in short-to-medium text where a strong analog impression is desirable, such as posters, punchy headlines, packaging, and book or album covers. It also suits on-screen graphics and production design applications where a believable, worn typewritten look is needed. For long passages, larger sizes and generous leading will help the distressed edges breathe.
The overall tone feels archival and utilitarian—like text pulled from a well-used machine, carbon copy, or aged paperwork. Its rough imprint adds tension and grit, lending a slightly clandestine, editorial, or cinematic mood without becoming decorative to the point of illegibility.
The design appears aimed at recreating a convincingly worn typewriter imprint: consistent mechanical spacing paired with deliberately degraded outlines to suggest age, pressure variation, and imperfect printing. The intent prioritizes atmosphere and tactile realism while keeping letterforms sturdy and readable.
The distress is distributed across stems, terminals, and inner corners rather than applied as a uniform noise layer, which helps preserve the fundamental structure of each glyph. In paragraph setting, the texture creates a dark, assertive color and a tactile, printed presence.
