This font uses monospaced, typewriter-like proportions with compact, blunt serifs and mostly squared terminals. Strokes show visible wobble and roughened edges, as if printed through a worn ribbon or uneven ink transfer, creating a subtly distressed texture across the line. The forms are sturdy and legible, with slightly irregular curves and counters that add a handmade, imperfect rhythm while maintaining consistent character widths. Numerals and capitals keep a solid, workmanlike stance, and lowercase letters retain straightforward construction with minimal flourish.
It works well for headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium text blocks where a typewritten, worn impression is desirable—posters, book or album covers, zines, packaging labels, and film/episode title cards. It can also support UI or code-like layouts when a textured, analog mono look is preferred over a clean terminal face.
The overall tone feels archival and tactile—like a well-used office typewriter, carbon copy, or stamped label. The uneven inking adds grit and tension, giving the text a documentary, investigative, or DIY editorial mood rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to evoke mechanical typing with an aged, imperfect print footprint—capturing the strict spacing and utilitarian structure of monospaced text while adding a distressed surface for atmosphere and storytelling.
The distress is consistent enough to read as intentional texture rather than noise, and it becomes more apparent at larger sizes where the rough perimeter shapes are clearer. At smaller sizes it reads closer to a standard mono typewriter style, while still preserving a slightly rugged color on the page.
