A monospaced, typewriter-like serif with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and compact, squared proportions. The letterforms show deliberate irregularity: edges are roughened, corners are softened, and terminals look slightly ink-bled, producing a worn printed impression. Serifs are small and blunt, and the overall rhythm is even and mechanical, with consistent character widths and steady baseline behavior despite the distressed outlines.
Well-suited for display and short-to-medium text where a typewritten, aged print character is desired—such as posters, book covers, title cards, and period-styled graphics. It also works effectively for faux documents and prop typography where the monospaced structure and worn texture support an authentic, mechanical look.
The font conveys an analog, archival mood—evoking typed documents, carbon copies, and well-handled paperwork. Its textured outlines add a gritty, slightly ominous tone that can read as investigative, underground, or period-authentic rather than polished and corporate.
The design appears intended to recreate the visual texture of typed output while adding a distressed, ink-worn layer for atmosphere. It prioritizes consistent monospaced alignment and a rugged printed surface to suggest age, use, and physical impression.
In running text the distress remains clearly visible, giving headings and short passages a tactile presence. The figures share the same worn treatment and maintain the same steady monospaced cadence as the letters, reinforcing the mechanical, document-like feel.
