A rough, inked monospaced face with irregular, wobbly contours and subtly lumpy stroke weight. Letterforms keep simple, mostly geometric skeletons, but the edges look eroded or over-inked, creating soft bulges, nicks, and occasional pinched joins. Counters are uneven and slightly misshapen, with a handmade rhythm that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Overall spacing is mechanically even (typewriter-like), while the outlines remain intentionally imperfect, producing a stamped or distressed print effect.
Best suited for short bursts of text where texture is a feature—posters, titles, packaging callouts, album/mixtape art, and thematic branding. It can also work for retro-styled interfaces or in-game screens that want a worn typewriter or stamped-print vibe, especially at larger sizes where the distressed edges can be appreciated.
The texture and wobble give it a gritty, analog tone—part typewriter, part worn rubber stamp. It reads as scrappy and expressive, with a slightly ominous or underground feel that suits horror, DIY, and zine-adjacent aesthetics.
Likely designed to deliver a monospaced, typewriter-inspired structure while adding a deliberately worn, over-inked texture for atmosphere. The goal appears to be immediate character and grit without sacrificing the familiar cadence and alignment of fixed-width typography.
Despite the heavy distressing, the core silhouettes remain clear at display sizes, and the consistent fixed-width spacing reinforces a utilitarian, terminal-like cadence. The distressed treatment is integrated throughout rather than appearing as random speckling, so lines of text keep a cohesive color and texture.
