A slab-serif, typewriter-like design with heavy, inky strokes and irregular, roughened outlines. The letterforms are upright with a compact, sturdy build, showing slightly uneven contours and pocked interiors that mimic worn metal type or degraded printing. Serifs are blunt and blocky, joins are firm, and counters stay fairly open despite the heavy texture. Overall rhythm is intentionally uneven, with small fluctuations in stroke edge and fill that create a stamped, tactile impression.
Best suited for display settings where texture is a feature: posters, cover art, packaging, and punchy editorial callouts. It can work for short paragraphs when set with generous leading and moderate sizes, but it will be most effective in titles, pull quotes, and high-impact messaging where the distressed print character is meant to be seen.
The font reads as gritty and analog, evoking the feel of old office typing, photocopies, or inked impressions that have been handled and reprinted. Its rough texture adds tension and urgency, giving text a raw, underground character while still retaining a familiar, readable skeleton.
The design appears intended to capture a rugged, imperfect print aesthetic—combining classic slab/typewriter forms with deliberate wear to suggest age, handling, and mechanical reproduction. It aims to deliver immediate atmosphere without sacrificing the basic legibility of traditional letter shapes.
The distressing is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive "worn print" surface rather than random damage. In longer text, the dark color and edge noise create a strong tonal mass, so line spacing and size will noticeably affect clarity and mood.
