A monospaced, typewriter-like design with compact proportions and consistent character widths. Strokes are mostly straight and simplified, with slightly rounded corners and noticeable irregularity along edges, as if printed through a worn ribbon or on rough paper. Terminals show small nicks, wobble, and occasional ink build-up, creating a subtly mottled outline rather than crisp geometry. Curves are somewhat squarish and open counters remain legible, while the overall rhythm stays steady thanks to the fixed spacing and uniform set width.
Works well for faux-typewriter treatments in posters, book covers, title cards, and editorial pull quotes where texture is desirable. It’s also suited to prop graphics (letters, forms, labels) and zine or DIY layouts that benefit from a rough printed voice. For longer text, it performs best at comfortable sizes and with adequate line spacing so the distressed edges don’t visually clump.
The font conveys an analog, imperfect feel—like archival typing, rough drafts, or photocopied documents. Its distressed texture adds grit and immediacy, suggesting handmade or mechanical printing rather than polished digital typesetting. The tone is practical and documentary with a hint of tension from the worn, frayed edges.
Likely designed to evoke monospaced typewritten copy that has been degraded through use or reproduction, combining steady mechanical spacing with deliberately imperfect ink and edge behavior. The goal appears to be adding atmosphere and authenticity to otherwise straightforward, utilitarian letterforms.
Distress is applied consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive “worn imprint” effect without sacrificing basic readability. The texture becomes more apparent at larger sizes, where the broken edges and ink chatter read as an intentional stylistic layer.
