A monospaced, typewriter-inspired design with slightly condensed inner counters and visibly irregular, worn edges. Strokes show a printed-ink character: terminals are blunt, outlines wobble subtly, and weight distribution varies just enough to suggest mechanical impact and imperfect registration. Serifs are slab-like and simplified, with occasional nicks and swelling that create a textured silhouette. The overall rhythm stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, while the distressing adds lively surface noise without collapsing letterforms.
Well-suited for designs that want a convincingly analog imprint: film/TV props, dossier-style layouts, posters, and packaging that benefits from a worn print aesthetic. It can work for headlines and short-to-medium passages where texture is desirable, and for UI-like readouts where monospacing is part of the visual language.
The font conveys an analog, documentary mood—like aged office typing, carbon copies, or stamped paperwork that’s been handled and reprinted. Its roughness reads as utilitarian and atmospheric, lending a gritty, slightly noir tone that can feel archival or investigative.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of typed text that has been physically printed or struck—complete with uneven ink, minor deformation, and time-worn edges—while maintaining the disciplined spacing and structure of a monospaced system.
In continuous text the texture becomes a prominent feature, with small edge breaks and ink spread contributing to a peppered tone. The monospaced spacing reinforces the mechanical feel and can make lines appear more rigid and grid-like, while the distressing keeps it from looking sterile.
