A slab-serif, typewriter-inspired design with sturdy, blunt terminals and visibly roughened outlines. Strokes are fairly even in thickness, with a slightly uneven baseline and subtle wobble that suggests worn metal type or ink spread. Counters are open and generous, while the texture creates small chips and soft bulges along stems, serifs, and curves. Letter widths vary, but the overall set maintains a consistent, mechanical rhythm with intentionally imperfect finishing.
Well-suited for headlines and short passages where texture can carry the voice—posters, book or magazine covers, and branding that leans vintage or handmade. It also works effectively for packaging, labels, and editorial pull quotes when you want a printed, imperfect look without sacrificing legibility.
The font conveys an analog, timeworn character—like old correspondence, photocopies, or archival documents. Its distressed edges add grit and immediacy, balancing utilitarian clarity with a nostalgic, slightly rebellious tone.
Likely designed to emulate the feel of battered typewriter output or distressed letterpress printing—combining sturdy slab-serif construction with deliberate wear to create an authentic, ink-on-paper impression.
Uppercase forms feel solid and blocky, while lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable structure with minimal flourish. The numerals match the same rugged imprint and maintain good presence at display sizes, where the texture becomes a defining feature.
