A heavy, monospaced serif with blunted terminals and deliberately irregular outlines. The strokes are thick and fairly even, while the contours wobble slightly as if from worn metal type or rough letterpress impression. Serifs are small and slab-like with softened corners, counters tend to be compact, and joins show occasional lumps and nicks that create a textured, imperfect rhythm across lines.
Best suited for short to medium-length display copy where the rough print character can be appreciated—posters, cover design, labels, and themed branding. It can also work for punchy subheads or pull quotes when you want a monospaced, typewriter-like cadence with extra grit, but the heavy texture may overwhelm at very small sizes.
The font conveys an analog, slightly gritty tone reminiscent of old typewritten or stamped ephemera. Its rough edges and inky presence feel utilitarian and lived-in, suggesting age, tactility, and a bit of rebellious noise rather than polished precision.
Likely designed to capture the feel of worn type and imperfect ink transfer while keeping the predictable spacing and rhythm of a monospaced build. The goal appears to be strong impact and a vintage/analog surface quality rather than pristine neutrality.
Texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, so the distressed effect reads as an intentional system rather than random damage. Numerals are bold and straightforward, matching the same softened, worn detailing for a cohesive set.
