A monospaced serif typewriter face with visibly irregular contours and a lightly distressed imprint. Strokes show modest contrast with softened corners, intermittent roughness, and occasional thickened terminals that mimic ink spread or a worn ribbon. The letterforms keep consistent cell width and straightforward construction, while the distressing introduces a lively, uneven rhythm across stems, bowls, and crossbars. Numerals and punctuation follow the same textured treatment, maintaining a cohesive, mechanical feel despite the organic edge noise.
Well-suited for designs that need an analog, typed texture—film titles, editorial pull quotes, book covers, or posters where the distressed imprint contributes to the message. It can also add character to labels, packaging, and branding systems that aim for a vintage or workshop aesthetic, especially when paired with clean supporting typography.
The overall tone feels vintage and workmanlike, like a well-used machine leaving imperfect impressions on paper. Its roughness reads as tactile and human, lending an archival, documentary mood with a hint of grit rather than polish. The voice is practical and direct, with a deliberately imperfect character that suggests age, use, and physical process.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of mechanical typing with the imperfections of ink transfer and wear. It balances strict monospaced spacing with intentionally rough outlines to evoke physical printing artifacts and give set text an aged, documentary presence.
Texture varies from glyph to glyph in a way that resembles inconsistent inking rather than geometric distress patterns, which helps it feel authentic in longer passages. The serifed construction and sturdy capitals give headings a stamped authority, while the slightly blotty details add atmosphere at display sizes.
