A monospaced slab-serif design with broad proportions and steady, typewriter-like rhythm. Strokes are low-contrast and robust, with blunt terminals and compact, squared serifs that read as slightly rounded and irregular. The outlines show deliberate wear: roughened edges, small voids, and uneven ink spread that create a soft, printed texture without disrupting overall legibility. Curves are sturdy and simplified, and the numerals and capitals maintain consistent width and spacing for a mechanical, grid-friendly look.
Well-suited for designs that want an authentic typewritten voice: film/TV props, editorial headlines, event posters, and packaging or labels that benefit from a tactile, printed feel. It can also work for short passages, pull quotes, or captions where monospaced alignment and a weathered texture are part of the aesthetic.
The font conveys an analog, archival tone—evoking typed documents, carbon copies, and aged print. Its distressed surface adds grit and mood, suggesting reportage, mystery, or reclaimed ephemera rather than polished corporate cleanliness.
The design appears intended to capture the mechanical regularity of typewritten letterforms while adding a controlled, distressed layer that mimics worn type, ink spread, and imperfect printing. The goal is an instantly recognizable, document-like texture that feels lived-in and atmospheric.
The distress is relatively even across the character set, producing a consistent texture line-to-line in running text. The slab details and sturdy counters help maintain clarity at moderate sizes, while the rough edges become more prominent as the size increases.
