A monospaced serif design with blunt slab-like terminals and softly irregular contours that mimic uneven inking. Strokes are mostly uniform, with subtly swollen joins, occasional nicks, and slightly wavy edges that give each character a stamped, tactile presence. Counters are open and straightforward, and the overall proportions feel steady and mechanical, with consistent cell-to-cell rhythm and sturdy verticals.
Works well for titles, posters, packaging, and branding that want a typewritten or archival feel. It also suits editorial pull quotes and short blocks of text where the distressed texture can add atmosphere without needing ultra-clean reproduction.
The font conveys a vintage, workmanlike tone—practical and matter-of-fact, but with an analog roughness that feels human and imperfect. Its worn texture suggests paperwork, field notes, and printed ephemera, lending a slightly gritty, documentary character to headlines and short passages.
Likely intended to recreate the look of mechanical typing or stamped lettering with natural ink wear—keeping strict character width for rhythmic alignment while introducing subtle irregularities for authenticity and mood.
The distressed detailing is consistent across the alphabet and numerals, creating a cohesive “used” look rather than random damage. Round forms (like O/0 and 8/9) show softened geometry and ink spread, while slabs and serifs stay compact to preserve the typewriter-like cadence.
