A slanted, monospaced serif design with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and compact, typewriter-like proportions. Terminals are blunt and uneven, with subtle breaks and roughened edges that mimic worn type or over-inked impressions. The serifs are small and bracketed, and curves look slightly flattened, producing an irregular, stamped rhythm while keeping consistent character widths and steady spacing.
Works well when you want typewriter character without a pristine digital finish—such as posters, title cards, album art, editorial pull quotes, and themed packaging. It can also serve as a display or short-text companion to cleaner body fonts in layouts that benefit from an analog accent.
The texture and right-leaning stance give the face a tactile, analog feel—evoking paper, ribbons, and imperfect print. It reads as utilitarian and archival, with a hint of grit that suits period-leaning or investigative tones rather than polished corporate voice.
Likely designed to capture the mechanical regularity of monospaced typing while introducing human, imperfect print artifacts for atmosphere. The goal appears to be legible, consistent rhythm paired with a deliberately worn surface texture for storytelling and themed graphics.
The distressed contouring is consistent across letters and figures, creating visual noise that becomes part of the color on the page. The slant and wide set help keep words open and flowing, but the rough edges make it most comfortable at medium sizes and up where the texture can be appreciated.
