A heavy, monospaced roman with compact, blunted serifs and noticeably irregular contours. Strokes are low-contrast and largely uniform in thickness, with roughened edges that suggest ink spread, worn type, or textured printing. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while joins and terminals appear slightly swollen and uneven, creating a consistent distressed rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display sizes where the worn texture can be appreciated—posters, book covers, packaging, title cards, and thematic graphics. It also works well for short editorial callouts, captions, and props where a typed or stamped feel is desired, while longer body text may appear visually dense due to the heavy weight and textured edges.
The overall tone feels analog and utilitarian—like a hard-used typewriter ribbon or a stamped label pulled from an old file drawer. Its roughness reads as purposeful and tactile, adding grit and character without tipping into illegibility.
Designed to evoke the look of imperfect mechanical printing: sturdy letterforms with a deliberate distressed finish that adds age, grit, and physicality. The monospaced structure supports a typed aesthetic while the rough outlines provide a more expressive, lived-in voice.
The distress pattern is consistent rather than random, giving lines of text a stable texture. Numerals share the same rugged terminals and softened corners, helping mixed text maintain an even color and cadence.
