A rough, hand-rendered sans with heavy, uneven strokes and visibly irregular contours. Letterforms are wide and compactly fitted to a fixed advance, with consistent spacing that reads as monospaced while the shapes retain organic wobble. Terminals are blunt and slightly swollen, and bowls/counters often show small bite-outs and ink-like gaps that create a worn, stamped impression. Overall construction stays upright and fairly simple, letting texture and edge breakup carry most of the character.
Best suited to short bursts of text—posters, headlines, cover art, and packaging—where the distressed texture is a feature rather than a distraction. It also works well for thematic applications like horror, punk, retro-print, or handmade branding that benefits from an intentionally rough finish.
The texture and uneven fill give it a gritty, analog tone—part zine, part DIY print shop. It feels informal and slightly mischievous, like a message typed on a battered ribbon or stamped with imperfect ink.
The design appears intended to emulate worn printing and imperfect ink coverage while preserving consistent width and spacing for typewriter-like set text. It prioritizes texture, edge breakup, and an analog, handcrafted feel over crisp geometry.
In running text the distressed edges create a lively rhythm, but the interior gaps and rough joins become more prominent as size decreases. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same rugged logic, keeping a cohesive, deliberately imperfect voice across the set.
