A heavy slab-serif design with compact, blocky letterforms and a steady, typewriter-like rhythm. Strokes are sturdy with blunt terminals and pronounced rectangular serifs, while edges and counters show deliberate erosion—irregular outlines, softened corners, and occasional ink spread that creates a worn print texture. Curves are somewhat squared-off and the overall color is dense and dark, producing strong presence in short lines and headings. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a unified distressed finish.
Works well for display applications that benefit from texture: posters, album covers, product packaging, and label-style graphics. It can also add an aged, industrial accent to short UI headings or pull quotes when set at sizes large enough for the distress to read clearly.
The font evokes aged machinery, stamped labels, and photocopied documents—utilitarian and gritty rather than refined. Its distressed surface reads as weathered and hands-on, suggesting workshop signage, storage marks, and retro ephemera. The tone is assertive and imperfect in a deliberate, characterful way.
Likely designed to merge a sturdy slab-serif/typewriter foundation with a controlled distressed layer, delivering a dependable, mechanical structure while communicating age, wear, and analog printing artifacts.
Spacing and rhythm feel uniform and measured, reinforcing a mechanical, typed impression even as the distressed contour introduces visual noise. The roughness is concentrated along outer edges and inside corners, creating a believable worn-ink effect without collapsing the silhouettes.
