A heavy, monoline, monospaced design with chunky proportions and slightly squared curves. Strokes show irregular, eroded edges and occasional ink-blot swell, giving counters and terminals a worn, imperfect outline. The letterforms read like slabby, typewriter-derived shapes that have been repeatedly stamped or photocopied, with consistent set width and a steady rhythm across lines.
Best suited to display uses where texture is an asset—posters, flyers, album art, labels, and editorial callouts. It can also work in short blocks of text when a distressed, typewritten feel is desired, especially for themed layouts or props.
The overall tone feels gritty and analog, evoking rough printing, distressed rubber stamps, or aging office ephemera. It carries a rugged, lo-fi attitude that suggests authenticity and wear rather than polish.
The design appears intended to combine the predictable cadence of monospaced typography with the visual noise of worn printing, creating a bold, readable voice that still feels imperfect and tactile.
Spacing is mechanically regular due to the fixed width, which amplifies the distressed texture when set in paragraphs. Numerals and capitals maintain a strong, poster-friendly presence, while the lowercase keeps the same rough edge character for continuous text settings.
