A rough, typewriter-like serif with compact, sturdy letterforms and visibly irregular contours. Strokes stay mostly even in thickness, but edges are ragged and slightly swollen, with occasional ink blobs and worn counters that create a stamped/printed texture. Serifs are short and blunt, terminals feel cut-off rather than tapered, and the overall rhythm reads as utilitarian with small per-glyph inconsistencies that reinforce a printed-from-metal or worn-impression look.
Well suited to posters, cover design, and editorial pull quotes where a distressed, analog print character is desirable. It can also work for branding and packaging that aims for a rugged, archival, or workshop aesthetic, and for short-form UI or labels when a tactile, imperfect tone is needed.
The font conveys a gritty, vintage documentation tone—matter-of-fact but imperfect—like hard-used equipment labels, old forms, or archival photocopies. Its texture adds a tactile, analog feeling that can suggest age, urgency, or underground/DIY production.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect mechanical printing—typewriter or letterpress-like forms—by combining a solid, readable skeleton with deliberate surface wear and ink spread. The goal is to deliver a familiar serif structure while injecting texture and age for atmospheric impact.
In the text sample, the distressing is consistent enough to hold together in paragraph settings, but the roughened edges and occasional filled-in details make it feel best at moderate sizes where the texture remains legible. The numerals and capitals carry the same worn imprint, helping headlines and callouts feel cohesive with body text.
