A monospaced, typewriter-like serif with blunt terminals and slightly irregular, inked edges that simulate worn metal type or uneven inking. Strokes stay largely even in weight with minimal contrast, and the serifing is compact and blocky rather than delicate. Counters are fairly open and round, while curves and joins show small bumps and waviness that add texture without breaking legibility. Overall spacing is rigid and consistent, reinforcing a mechanical rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Works well for editorial copy, scripts, captions, and layouts that want a typed-document look with some tactile imperfection. It also suits posters, packaging labels, and display callouts where the distressed imprint can read as intentionally vintage or utilitarian.
The texture and uneven imprint give it an analog, lived-in feel—suggesting paperwork, vintage correspondence, or archival material. Its sturdy, no-nonsense shapes read as practical and documentary, while the roughened edges add a touch of grit and authenticity.
Likely designed to evoke the look of mechanical type on paper—fixed spacing, sturdy serifs, and a subtly degraded imprint—so designers can add documentary or retro texture without losing straightforward readability.
The distress is integrated into the outlines (not random speckling), so the font keeps a clear silhouette at typical text sizes while still showing character in larger settings. Numerals follow the same stamped, slightly battered finish, helping mixed text and figures feel cohesive.
