A monospaced slab-serif design with sturdy, mostly uniform strokes and compact, squared-off terminals. The letterforms show deliberate roughening along edges and joins, creating a slightly inked, worn impression while keeping counters open and shapes highly legible. Curves are firm and somewhat flattened, and the overall rhythm is even and mechanical, with consistent character widths and straightforward proportions.
Well-suited to typewriter-style quotes, captions, and editorial blocks where a tactile, imperfect texture is desirable. It can also support posters, titles, and packaging or label-style graphics that aim for an analog, document-like authenticity. For best results, give it some breathing room so the roughened edges remain distinct.
The font conveys a practical, archival tone—like text produced by an older machine under real-world conditions. Its textured edges add grit and humanity, suggesting paperwork, reports, labels, or notes that have been handled, copied, or stamped over time. The overall feel is direct and no-nonsense, with a subtle nostalgic patina.
The design appears intended to recreate the disciplined cadence of monospaced typing while adding believable wear that suggests ink spread, impact, and age. It prioritizes steady alignment and legibility, with texture used as atmosphere rather than decoration.
The distress is consistent enough to read as intentional texture rather than random noise, and it remains readable in the sample paragraph at text sizes. Uppercase and lowercase maintain clear differentiation, and the numerals match the same sturdy, slightly battered texture, supporting cohesive setting across mixed content.
