This typeface uses narrow-to-moderate strokes with visibly irregular, ragged contours, as if printed through worn ribbon or painted with a dry brush. Letterforms are simple and upright with mostly open counters and minimal stylization, but the outlines wobble and fray, creating a consistently distressed texture across the set. Curves (C, O, S) look slightly uneven and granular, while straight stems and crossbars show small nicks, bumps, and occasional bulges. Spacing is uniform and grid-like, reinforcing a fixed-width rhythm that reads like a typed or stamped line of text.
It works best for short headlines, title cards, posters, and on-screen graphics where the distressed edge can be seen clearly. It also fits themed UI elements and packaging-style labels that benefit from a worn, stamped, or archival feel. For long reading text, the constant texture is more effective as a stylistic layer than as a primary body face.
The overall tone is tense and unsettling, with a gritty, lo-fi presence that suggests documents, evidence tags, or aged labels. The distressed perimeter adds a nervous energy, turning otherwise straightforward letter shapes into something more ominous and uncanny.
The design appears intended to combine a straightforward, typewriter-like structure with an intentionally degraded imprint, producing an ominous “found text” look. The goal is less about calligraphic flair and more about consistent, repeatable roughness that reads quickly while maintaining a creepy atmosphere.
The distressed treatment stays fairly consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping paragraphs keep a steady texture rather than breaking into isolated novelty shapes. At larger sizes the frayed edges become a defining feature; at smaller sizes the irregularities merge into a noisy, worn print effect.
