A monospaced, typewriter-like roman with sturdy, mostly straight stems and compact, pragmatic proportions. The letterforms are intentionally roughened, with uneven outer edges, slightly blotted corners, and small nicks that mimic worn metal type or degraded printing. Rounds are somewhat squarish and irregular, counters stay open and readable, and the overall rhythm is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals despite the distressed texture.
Well-suited for headlines, pull quotes, and short passages where you want a typewriter voice with visible texture—posters, album/film graphics, book covers, packaging, and branding that leans vintage or utilitarian. It can also work for longer copy when printed at comfortable sizes where the distress remains clear without clogging.
The texture and imperfect impressions give it an analog, handmade presence—industrial and a bit rebellious rather than polished. It reads like archival paperwork, field notes, or a photocopied zine, balancing legibility with a gritty, lived-in tone.
Designed to deliver the familiar cadence of monospaced type with an added layer of wear and ink irregularity, evoking stamped, photocopied, or aged printing. The goal appears to be character and atmosphere while keeping a consistent, grid-friendly footprint for punchy layout systems.
The distressed effect is relatively uniform across glyphs, creating a cohesive “ink wear” layer rather than random damage. Numerals and capitals carry a strong stamped feel, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike structure that holds up in running text.
