A monospaced, typewriter-like serif design with compact proportions and sturdy, bracketed slab forms. The lettershapes are built from firm verticals and rounded bowls, but the contours are intentionally roughened: edges look scuffed and uneven, with occasional notches, blobs, and slight fill-in that mimics heavy ink or degraded print. Terminals are blunt and stamped, counters stay mostly open, and the overall rhythm reads steady and mechanical despite the distressed texture.
Works best for posters, headlines, title cards, and cover typography where the distressed detailing can carry mood and theme. It can also support branding accents on packaging or labels that aim for a worn, printed-on-paper look; for longer passages it’s most effective when set with generous size and spacing to keep the texture from overpowering readability.
The texture and stamped construction give an archival, hardboiled tone—suggesting old documents, field notes, or well-handled records. It feels authentic and tactile, with a gritty, slightly ominous character that suits retro and investigative moods.
Likely intended to capture the feel of mechanical type that has been repeatedly printed, photocopied, or weathered—preserving the disciplined, monospaced structure while adding authentic-looking wear and ink artifacts for atmosphere.
Texture intensity is fairly consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping paragraphs hold together while still reading as intentionally imperfect. The uppercase set appears broad and stable, while lowercase retains a clear typewriter cadence, keeping text legible at display and short-text sizes where the distress can be appreciated.
