A monospaced, typewriter-like roman with visibly roughened outlines and uneven ink coverage. Strokes show subtle wobble, nicks, and blotting that create broken counters and irregular terminals, as if produced by worn metal type or a dry ribbon. Serifs are slabby and simplified, with sturdy verticals and rounded joins that keep the letterforms recognizable despite the distress. Overall spacing is fixed and consistent, giving lines a rigid rhythm while the texture adds lively variation within each glyph.
Well suited for display and short-to-medium text where a vintage, printed texture is desired—such as posters, title cards, book covers, and packaging. It can also work for interfaces or layouts that benefit from a fixed-width, typewritten cadence, provided the distressed details are large enough to remain clear.
The texture and imperfect printing evoke analog machinery, aged documents, and utilitarian correspondence. It reads as gritty and tactile rather than polished, bringing a hint of suspense and archival authenticity to headlines and short passages.
Designed to mimic a classic monospaced typewriter voice while adding convincing wear and ink variation for an aged, imperfect print impression. The goal appears to be legibility first, with texture used to supply atmosphere and period character.
Numbers and capitals carry the same eroded edge behavior as the lowercase, and the distressing appears integrated rather than applied as random noise. The fixed-width cadence is strong in running text, where the repeated vertical rhythm reinforces a mechanical, stamped feel.
