A monospaced serif face with compact, typewriter-like proportions and a distinctly worn imprint. Strokes are low-contrast and mostly upright, with subtly bracketed, rounded slab-like terminals that read as softened serifs. Edges are irregular and slightly blobby, creating an ink-spread or stamped texture; curves and joins show small nicks and unevenness that break the otherwise steady rhythm. Counters are open and generous, keeping the letterforms readable despite the distressed contours.
Works well where a vintage, document-like voice is needed: film/TV props, zines, editorial callouts, menus, labels, and poster typography. It can also add character to short UI labels or code-like layouts when a more atmospheric, printed feel is preferred over a clean mono.
The overall tone feels archival and mechanical, like text struck on paper with a slightly tired ribbon. Its imperfections add grit and human presence, evoking paperwork, reports, labels, and period documents rather than polished contemporary branding.
Designed to reproduce the familiar cadence of monospaced typing while adding an intentionally imperfect, worn print texture. The goal appears to be legibility-first typewriter structure with enough distress to communicate age, authenticity, and tactile presence.
The texture is consistent across letters and figures, with small variations at terminals and along verticals that suggest impression wear rather than random noise. Numerals and capitals maintain the same fixed-width cadence, supporting a steady, grid-like flow in paragraphs.
