A heavy, slabby typewriter face with compact, monolinear strokes and chunky terminals. The outlines are intentionally irregular, with ragged edges and small voids that suggest worn type, ink spread, or battered letterforms. Curves stay fairly boxy and the counters are tight, creating a dense, high-impact texture in both uppercase and lowercase. Spacing is rigid and even, reinforcing the mechanical rhythm while the distressing adds visual motion across lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where texture and attitude are part of the message—posters, title cards, packaging, labels, and editorial pull quotes. It can work for short blocks of text when a strong, distressed typewriter voice is desired, but the dense texture favors larger sizes and generous leading.
The overall tone feels gritty and analog, evoking carbon copies, stamped paperwork, and distressed print ephemera. It reads as utilitarian and tough, with a slightly ominous, underground edge that suits dramatic or retro storytelling.
The design appears intended to capture the mechanical discipline of monospaced typewriter lettering while adding a deliberately worn, inked patina. It prioritizes impact and character over pristine regularity, aiming for an authentic, timeworn printed feel.
The distressing is consistent across the set, producing a deliberately uneven color that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes. The numerals share the same blunt, worn construction, helping mixed alphanumeric settings maintain a uniform, poster-like presence.
