A monospaced, typewriter-like design with wide-set proportions and a steady, upright stance. Letterforms are built from sturdy strokes but the contours are heavily roughened, with ragged edges, nicks, and uneven ink fill that creates a broken, eroded silhouette. Counters stay generally open, while terminals and corners show irregular bite marks and occasional dark blotting, producing a consistent distressed texture across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to posters, album or event graphics, and editorial headlines where a distressed, printed texture is desirable. It can also work for short bursts of UI text, in-game terminals, props, or themed packaging/labels when a rugged, analog feel is needed; for longer passages, generous size and spacing help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is gritty and utilitarian, evoking worn machinery labels, photocopied documents, and stamped or carbon-typed ephemera. Its rough printing artifacts lend a rebellious, underground character—more raw and handmade than polished or corporate.
Likely intended to merge monospaced, typewriter structure with a bold distressed treatment, simulating worn ink, damaged metal type, or rough reproduction methods. The design prioritizes atmosphere and texture while keeping a disciplined grid-based rhythm for predictable alignment.
Distress is applied uniformly enough to read as a cohesive style rather than random noise, and the monospaced rhythm gives lines a mechanical cadence even as the surface texture breaks up the outlines. The texture remains visible at text sizes, so the font’s personality comes through strongly in running copy as well as display.
