Distressed Wogu 1 is a bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Thesis Typewriter' by Ana's Fonts, 'Prestige 12 Pitch' by Bitstream, and 'Prestige 12' by Tilde (names referenced only for comparison).

A slab-serif, typewriter-like design with sturdy rectangular serifs, compact proportions, and a steady monospaced rhythm. Strokes are consistently heavy with moderate contrast, and terminals are predominantly blunt and squared off. The defining feature is a rough, broken perimeter: edges look scuffed and uneven, as if printed with worn type or over-inked on fibrous paper, producing small chips, bites, and irregular counters. Uppercase forms feel blocky and authoritative, while lowercase remains straightforward and legible, keeping a consistent texture line to line.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium text where a worn, analog print character is desirable—posters, title treatments, packaging labels, album art, and editorial pull quotes. It can also work for UI or data-like layouts when a monospaced, industrial mood is needed, though the texture favors larger sizes for clarity.
The overall tone is utilitarian and tactile—evoking stamped labels, old paperwork, and rugged machinery markings. The distressed texture adds grit and a slightly ominous, noir-leaning atmosphere without becoming chaotic, maintaining a disciplined, mechanical cadence.
Likely intended to mimic the look of battered typewriter output or stamped industrial lettering, combining strict monospaced structure with a consistent distressed surface. The goal appears to be adding authenticity and atmosphere—age, grit, and physicality—while preserving clear letterforms and even spacing.
The distress is distributed fairly evenly across glyphs, creating a uniform “aged print” color in paragraphs rather than isolated novelty damage. Numerals are strong and workmanlike, matching the same rugged edge treatment and squared construction, which helps keep tables and codes visually cohesive.
