A slab-serif, typewriter-like design with sturdy, wide letterforms and an even, mechanical rhythm. Strokes are moderately contrasted and end in blunt, squared serifs with subtly rounded corners, while counters and joins show irregular bite marks and speckled wear that mimic ink spread and degraded printing. The overall silhouette stays consistent and upright, with compact curves, sturdy stems, and a slightly bouncy, imperfect edge quality that reads as intentional distress rather than loose handwriting.
Works best for display use where the rough texture can be appreciated: posters, title cards, album or book covers, packaging, and branding accents. It also suits themed UI moments and prop-style graphics such as faux documents, labels, and stamped signage where an aged print effect is desired.
The font conveys a gritty, vintage utility—suggesting old paperwork, stamped labels, and worn printing. Its distressed texture adds a raw, analog character that can feel archival, clandestine, or industrial depending on context.
The design appears intended to combine the dependable structure of a slab-serif typewriter voice with an intentionally worn surface, evoking imperfect ink transfer and timeworn printing artifacts. It aims for clear, forceful forms while adding atmosphere through controlled degradation.
Distress appears both along outer contours and within interiors, creating small nicks and uneven patches that become more visible at larger sizes. Numerals share the same rugged treatment and maintain the same sturdy, typewriter-like proportions, supporting a cohesive set across letters and figures.
