A monospaced, typewriter-like serif with visibly roughened outlines and an inked, slightly blotchy texture. Strokes are generally straight and utilitarian, but edges wobble and break subtly, creating irregular terminals and occasional thickened spots that feel like worn type or uneven printing. Serifs are small and sturdy, counters stay fairly open, and the overall rhythm is consistent cell-to-cell while preserving a deliberately imperfect surface.
Well-suited for designs that benefit from a typed, imperfect voice: film and game props, dossier-style layouts, retro posters, and cover typography that needs an aged or gritty texture. It can also work for short-to-medium paragraphs when a strong thematic texture is desired, especially at sizes large enough to let the distressing read clearly.
The font conveys an analog, documentary tone—like text pulled from an old ribbon, carbon copy, or distressed print. Its rough finish adds grit and tension, lending a clandestine, archival, or crime-noir mood without becoming illegible.
The design intention appears to be a faithful typewriter-inspired structure paired with a distressed printing effect, aiming to evoke wear, age, and physical ink on paper while keeping the cadence and predictability of monospaced setting.
Letterforms lean toward classic typewriter proportions, with a compact footprint and clear differentiation between caps, lowercase, and numerals. The distressing appears applied as uneven contour erosion and ink spread rather than heavy deformation, so the skeleton remains stable and readable in continuous text.
