A monoline, monospaced design with a wide set and sturdy, boxy proportions. Strokes show deliberate irregularity: softened corners, slightly uneven terminals, and subtle wobble that reads like ink spread or worn type. Serifs are minimal and slab-like, appearing as blunt nubs on many capitals, while lowercase maintains simple, open shapes with consistent rhythm. Figures are straightforward and legible, with the same lightly distressed texture present across letters and numerals, keeping the overall color even while adding a tactile edge.
Well-suited for typewriter-style quotations, captions, and short-to-medium passages where a textured, document-like voice is desirable. It also works for posters, packaging labels, zines, and title cards that benefit from an analog, slightly worn finish while retaining clear letterforms.
The font conveys an analog, workmanlike tone—part archival document, part marked-up manuscript. Its mild distress and uneven edges suggest age, repetition, and physical impact, creating a slightly gritty, humanized texture without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to capture the regularity of fixed-width typing while introducing a believable, imperfect print texture. It aims for legibility and consistent rhythm first, then adds wear and ink variation to evoke age, reproduction, and physical media.
The monospaced spacing produces a steady vertical cadence that emphasizes the mechanical feel, while the roughened outlines prevent the texture from feeling sterile. The distress appears consistent enough to function in longer text, though it remains visually present and will be more noticeable at larger sizes.
