A monoline slab-serif typewriter face with broad proportions and a steady, cell-to-cell rhythm. Strokes are low-contrast and blunt, with heavy, squared terminals and compact slab serifs that read as slightly softened by wear. The outlines show deliberate roughening—uneven edges, small nicks, and inky pooling—creating an irregular print texture while keeping letterforms structurally consistent. Counters are relatively open and shapes are straightforward, favoring solidity over finesse.
Works well for headlines, posters, packaging accents, and cover design where a typed, aged imprint is part of the story. It also suits editorial pull quotes, captions, and short paragraphs when you want a readable monospaced voice with character and texture.
The font evokes the tactile feel of typed pages and carbon copies—practical, matter-of-fact, and a little weathered. Its distressed imprint adds a gritty, archival tone that can suggest crime fiction, documentation, or found ephemera without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to capture the mechanical regularity of a typewriter while introducing worn, ink-pressed imperfections for atmosphere. The goal appears to be a balance of dependable structure and distressed surface so it can convey authenticity and grit in display and text-like applications.
The set maintains a cohesive mechanical flavor across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with the distress applied consistently so paragraphs look like they were produced by a well-used machine. Spacing and alignment feel disciplined, supporting a steady texture in multi-line settings despite the intentionally imperfect edges.
