A heavy, monoline serif design with a distinctly worn, inked texture that creates soft notches, blots, and uneven edges around each stroke. The letterforms keep a compact, workmanlike geometry with robust verticals and short, bracket-like serifs, while counters stay relatively open for the weight. The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a steady rhythm that feels mechanically regular yet visibly degraded, like repeated impressions on absorbent paper.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where character is desirable: posters, book covers, album art, packaging labels, and editorial headlines that benefit from a worn typewritten look. It can also work for themed UI moments or props (forms, memos, evidence-style graphics) when a vintage, imperfect imprint is part of the story.
The font carries an analog, archival mood—evoking old paperwork, pulpy crime headlines, and well-used office equipment. Its roughened imprint reads as lived-in and imperfect, lending a slightly ominous, gritty character without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to recreate the feel of typewritten text with accumulated wear—combining sturdy slab-like structure with irregular ink spread and softened corners to suggest age, repetition, and tactile printing.
The distressed edge treatment is part of the silhouette rather than a separate overlay, so the “wear” remains legible at medium sizes but becomes a defining graphic feature in larger settings. The numerals match the same sturdy, ink-pressed feel, reinforcing the utilitarian tone across alphanumerics.
