A monospaced, slab-serifed letterform with sturdy, wide proportions and low stroke contrast. The shapes are built from simple, squared-off stems and broad terminals, but the outlines are intentionally irregular: edges wobble, corners soften, and counters show slight dents and swelling as if from heavy ink or worn type. Curves are chunky and somewhat flattened, and overall spacing is consistent and mechanical while the silhouette remains visibly distressed.
Works best for display settings where texture and atmosphere are desirable—posters, covers, labels, and punchy editorial headings. It can also add character to short passages, pull quotes, and UI moments meant to evoke an old-school terminal or rough print look, but the distressed edges may feel busy at very small sizes.
The font conveys an analog, lived-in tone—equal parts utilitarian and characterful. Its rough texture suggests age, handling, and imperfect reproduction, lending a gritty, documentary feel with a hint of retro machine-made authenticity.
Likely designed to merge the disciplined rhythm of a monospaced, typewriter-like structure with a deliberately worn, ink-heavy surface. The intent appears to be creating reliable alignment and a strong silhouette while injecting analog imperfections for mood and tactility.
The distress pattern is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, reading like ink spread or degraded printing rather than random noise. In text, the regular rhythm of the monospaced structure keeps lines orderly, while the rough outlines add visual buzz and soften the otherwise strict, industrial geometry.
