A monospaced, typewriter-like roman with slabby, bracketed serifs and sturdy, workmanlike proportions. Strokes show deliberate roughening: edges are ragged, counters are slightly noisy, and terminals can look blunted or chipped, creating an ink-worn impression. Round forms stay fairly compact and upright, while the overall rhythm remains consistent from glyph to glyph despite the irregular texture.
Best suited to display use where a distressed typewriter voice is desirable—posters, book or album covers, title cards, and themed packaging. It can also work for short editorial pulls, captions, or UI flourishes when an analog, gritty texture is needed, though the rough edges may feel busy at very small sizes.
The font conveys a utilitarian, analog feel—like copy produced on aging office equipment or printed through imperfect, inky processes. Its distressed surface adds tension and grit, giving it a moody, archival tone suitable for story-driven or atmospheric typography.
Likely designed to merge classic typewriter structure with a worn, ink-degraded texture, delivering immediate period flavor without sacrificing legibility. The consistent spacing and restrained proportions suggest it aims to stay practical while adding atmosphere through surface distress.
In the sample text, the texture reads as peppered wear rather than extreme distortion, so letterforms remain recognizable while still visibly distressed. The even character widths and steady baseline reinforce a mechanical cadence that contrasts with the roughened contours.
