A monospaced, typewriter-like serif with chunky slabs, compact counters, and visibly irregular, roughened contours. Strokes stay largely low-contrast and upright, but the outlines wobble with faux-ink spread, nicks, and worn edges that create a broken, press-printed texture. The rhythm is steady and mechanical while individual letters show subtle shape variation and softened corners, giving the set a convincingly imperfect, stamped look.
Works well for headlines, posters, book covers, and title treatments where a distressed, analog tone is desirable. It can also support short editorial callouts, packaging, or themed graphics that aim to feel archival or industrial, especially when paired with paper textures or monochrome palettes.
The font conveys a gritty, retro-document mood—suggesting aged paperwork, carbon copies, and lo-fi printing. Its rough texture adds tension and drama, making text feel archival, clandestine, or pulled from a weathered file.
Likely designed to mimic the imperfections of old typewritten or letterpress output—keeping a disciplined, mechanical structure while layering on worn ink and rough printing artifacts for atmosphere.
In running text, the distressed edges remain prominent and can darken color at smaller sizes, while larger sizes emphasize the tactile, ink-on-paper character. Numerals and capitals share the same rugged finish, keeping the overall voice consistent across display and text settings.
