A heavy, monoline typewriter-style design with compact proportions and blunt slab-like terminals. The letterforms show deliberately roughened edges and uneven contours, creating a worn, ink-pressed texture while keeping consistent overall rhythm. Counters are relatively small and rounded, and joins feel slightly swollen or battered, reinforcing the mechanical, stamped impression. Numerals and capitals maintain a steady, uniform footprint that reads clearly even with the distressed detailing.
Best suited for display-sized text where its worn texture can be appreciated: posters, title cards, packaging labels, editorial pull quotes, and film/scene props that need an authentic typewritten feel. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a rugged, analog voice is desired, though the distress may become busy at very small sizes.
The font conveys an analog, workmanlike tone—like aging office output, carbon copies, or stenciled labeling that has been repeatedly struck. Its rough texture adds grit and character, suggesting archival documents, workshop markings, or retro ephemera rather than pristine modern typesetting.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of mechanically typed characters with age and ink wear, combining a strict, regular structure with intentional imperfections. It aims to add instant period flavor and tactile texture while staying functional and straightforward in silhouette.
Distress is present across nearly all glyphs, but the core silhouettes remain stable enough to preserve legibility. The texture is strongest at curves and terminals, where edges appear chipped or ink-bleeded, giving lines a lively, imperfect cadence.
