A monospaced, slab‑serif design with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and wide set proportions. The letterforms show intentionally irregular outlines, with roughened edges and slightly swollen, ink-trap-like corners that mimic uneven impression and ink spread. Serifs are blocky and blunt, and curves (notably in C, O, and S) are slightly squarish, giving the font a rugged, mechanical rhythm. Overall spacing is consistent per character, while internal shapes and stroke endings vary subtly to create a convincingly distressed print texture.
Works well for designs that benefit from a typewritten or weathered print effect—credits, captions, prop documents, packaging, and editorial pull quotes where texture is part of the message. It can also serve display and short-to-medium text when you want a consistent monospaced rhythm with a distressed, tactile finish.
The font conveys a utilitarian, archival tone—like text struck from a well-used typewriter ribbon or printed from a tired letterpress plate. Its rough texture reads as gritty and tactile, suggesting documentary realism, noir atmosphere, and DIY authenticity rather than polished modernity.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of monospaced office type with the character of degraded printing—uneven edges, inky buildup, and small imperfections—while staying highly legible and rhythmically consistent for set text.
Numerals are bold and straightforward with the same worn perimeter, maintaining strong recognition despite the distressed treatment. Lowercase forms keep a simple, workmanlike construction, and the overall texture remains consistent across the alphabet, helping longer passages retain an intentionally imperfect, analog feel.
