A typewriter-inspired serif with blunt slab-like terminals and compact, sturdy letterforms. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, while the outlines are intentionally roughened with uneven edges, softened corners, and subtle blotting that mimics worn metal type or imperfect inking. Counters are fairly open and simple, and the overall rhythm reads as steady and mechanical despite the distressed texture. Numerals follow the same utilitarian construction, with slightly irregular curves and consistent terminal treatment.
Well-suited for posters, book or album covers, packaging, and headline settings where a typewritten-but-worn aesthetic is desired. It also works for short editorial callouts, film/TV-style credits, and themed branding that benefits from an archival or gritty printed character.
The font conveys an analog, timeworn tone—like archived paperwork, carbon copies, or stamped labels. Its rough texture adds grit and immediacy, suggesting history, evidence, or DIY printing rather than polished modern typesetting.
Likely designed to emulate typewriter or letterpress forms while adding deliberate wear and ink artifacts for mood. The goal appears to be dependable, familiar structure paired with a distressed surface to create instant period flavor and texture.
The distressing is applied consistently across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive “printed” texture at display sizes. In longer text, the rough edges remain noticeable and contribute more to atmosphere than to crisp readability.
