A monospaced, slab‑serif typewriter design with sturdy, blunt terminals and an even, mechanical rhythm. Strokes stay largely uniform in thickness, but the outlines show irregular, roughened edges that mimic ink spread and worn type, creating slight texture within otherwise solid letterforms. The proportions feel broad and stable, with generous internal counters and clear, straightforward construction across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well suited to typewriter-flavored applications such as faux documents, letters, scripts, and period ephemera. The texture also works effectively for headlines on posters, book covers, and title cards where a tactile, printed feel is desirable; for long passages, moderate sizing helps keep the rough edges from visually filling in.
The font conveys an archival, analog tone—like typed pages, field notes, or stamped paperwork. Its imperfect edges add a lived‑in, gritty character that feels practical and honest rather than polished, leaning toward noir, reportage, and utilitarian authenticity.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of mechanical type with the added character of worn sorts and ink gain, balancing dependable monospaced structure with a deliberately imperfect surface.
The distressed contouring is consistent enough to read as intentional texture rather than random noise, and it becomes more apparent at larger sizes. In text settings the monospaced spacing produces a strong vertical cadence, while the slab serifs help maintain word-shape clarity despite the roughened silhouette.
