A monospaced, slab-serif typewriter style with sturdy, mostly uniform strokes and squared, workmanlike proportions. The letterforms show intentionally irregular outlines with ragged edges, ink spread, and occasional nicks that create a printed-on-paper feel. Serifs are short and blunt, terminals are squared or slightly rounded by the distressing, and counters remain fairly open for clarity. Overall spacing is even and gridlike, reinforcing the mechanical rhythm while the texture adds variation and grit.
Well-suited to headlines and short passages where a typewritten, worn-print character is desired—such as posters, book covers, editorial callouts, and title cards. It can also work for themed packaging or zine-style layouts, especially when you want a tactile, printed texture to be part of the design.
The font conveys an analog, documentary tone—like text from an old machine, carbon copy, or worn stencil impression. Its roughened texture reads as authentic and imperfect, suggesting age, urgency, and handmade production rather than polished modernity.
Likely designed to capture the rigid cadence of monospaced type while overlaying a distressed, imperfect impression. The goal appears to be a balance of legibility and texture, evoking aged printing and mechanical writing without losing the recognizable typewriter structure.
The distressing is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive texture without collapsing the basic shapes. In text settings the typewriter cadence stays prominent, while the rough edges add visual noise that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes.
