A monoline, upright design with a typewriter-like skeleton and visibly uneven, inked edges. Strokes are low-contrast and moderately heavy, with subtle wobble, soft corners, and occasional blotting that makes curves and terminals look worn-in. Proportions read as practical rather than geometric, with slightly irregular counters and a gently inconsistent rhythm that mimics imperfect printing. The overall texture remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving text a cohesive, weathered imprint.
It suits display and short-to-medium passages where texture is desirable: posters, editorial headlines, book and album covers, zines, and packaging that aims for a rough printed look. It can also work for pull quotes or captions when you want a typewritten tone with extra grit, though the distressed edge may feel busy at very small sizes.
The font conveys an analog, utilitarian mood—like a well-used typewriter ribbon or rough letterpress pull. Its imperfect edges and slightly dirty color add grit and immediacy, suggesting authenticity, age, and a hands-on, handmade sensibility.
The design appears intended to recreate a familiar typewriter structure while adding surface wear and ink irregularities for a convincingly printed, lived-in effect. The goal is legibility first, with texture providing the character and theme.
In longer text, the distressed texture is prominent but controlled, so the letterforms stay recognizable while the surface noise does most of the styling. The punctuation and numerals share the same worn treatment, which helps maintain a uniform voice in mixed-content settings.
