A monoline, monospaced roman with broad proportions and softened, blunted terminals that mimic uneven inking. Strokes stay low-contrast and upright, with slab-like serifs and slightly flared joins that read as mechanically struck rather than drawn with a pen. The outlines show deliberate irregularity—subtle bumps, nicks, and wobble—creating a distressed, printed texture while maintaining consistent spacing and a steady rhythm across lines. Counters are open and generously sized, supporting legibility despite the rough edge.
Works especially well for titles, pull quotes, and short-to-medium text where an analog, typed texture is desired—book and album covers, posters, packaging labels, and editorial graphics. It also suits UI or production-style contexts where fixed character widths are useful, such as scripts, mock forms, or retro-styled interfaces, provided the distressed edges fit the tone.
The overall tone feels archival and workmanlike, like a well-used office typewriter or a photocopied manuscript. Its textured edges add a hint of grit and nostalgia, suggesting DIY publishing, evidence, or field notes rather than polished corporate communication.
The design appears intended to capture the mechanical regularity of monospaced typing while adding a worn, imperfect imprint for atmosphere. It balances consistent widths and structure with deliberately rough outlines to evoke age, reproduction, and physical print artifacts.
The distress effect is consistent enough to feel intentional, giving large headlines a tactile presence while still holding together in paragraphs. Round forms (like O and 0) keep a sturdy, slightly flattened feel, and the numerals carry the same worn imprint character as the letters, helping mixed alphanumeric content look cohesive.
