A serifed, typewriter-inspired design with stout vertical stems, compact bowls, and sturdy slab-like terminals. The letterforms are intentionally uneven at the edges, with ragged contours, small nicks, and occasional ink-like buildup that creates a stamped/printed texture. Counters stay fairly open for a distressed face, while the overall rhythm remains structured and grid-friendly, giving it a mechanical backbone despite the roughened outlines. Capital and lowercase proportions feel conventional, with a straightforward, upright stance and a consistent, workmanlike baseline presence.
Works well for display typography that needs an aged print or typewritten artifact look—posters, cover design, editorial openers, packaging accents, and branded graphics with an analog edge. It can also support short paragraphs in pull quotes or captions when the size is generous and line spacing is comfortable.
The texture reads as worn ink on paper—suggesting age, repetition, and imperfect reproduction. It carries a documentary, analog tone that can feel archival, investigative, or industrial, leaning more utilitarian than elegant.
Likely designed to evoke classic typewriter slabs while adding a deliberate layer of wear, as if produced through imperfect printing, photocopying, or repeated striking. The aim appears to be balancing recognizable, readable letter construction with a strong tactile texture for atmospheric impact.
Distress is applied consistently across the set, so headings and short blocks retain a cohesive “printed artifact” character rather than looking randomly degraded. The roughening is strong enough to be a defining feature, so it benefits from adequate size and contrast against the background to keep the texture from clogging.
