A slanted, monolinear typewriter-style design with heavy, rounded terminals and visibly irregular edges that mimic ink spread and worn metal type. Strokes stay relatively even in thickness, while contours show purposeful wobble and small nicks that create a textured silhouette. Letterforms are compact and sturdy with soft corners, simple bowls, and a steady mechanical rhythm, maintaining consistent character width and spacing typical of fixed-pitch type.
Well-suited to display and short-to-medium text where a typewritten, timeworn character is desired—such as posters, editorial callouts, book covers, packaging, and media title cards. It can also work for themed UI elements, labels, and signage where the distressed texture supports the narrative.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and lived-in, like a well-used typewriter ribbon or stamped labeling. Its roughened texture adds grit and personality, suggesting archival paperwork, field notes, or vintage ephemera rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of mechanical typing with an aged, imperfect imprint—combining fixed-pitch structure with deliberate roughness to evoke authenticity and analog tactility.
The distressing is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive “inked” color on the page. In running text, the slant and chunky forms keep the texture prominent, so the face reads best when the goal is atmosphere as much as legibility.
