This typeface is a monospaced, typewriter-like design with thin, low-contrast strokes and a distinctly rough, irregular outline. Letterforms are mostly simple and upright, with open counters and straightforward geometry, but the edges wobble and fray as if drawn with a dry marker or worn ribbon. Terminals are uneven and slightly blunted, and curves look subtly dented, creating a jittery texture that remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
It works best for horror-leaning titles, credits, and short passages where the distressed texture can carry atmosphere—such as posters, book covers, tabletop or video game interfaces, and zine-style layouts. In longer text, the rough edges can build mood, especially when paired with ample leading and simple layouts.
The overall tone feels unsettling and gritty, like distressed signage or a degraded typed note. Its handmade roughness adds tension and unease, pushing otherwise familiar monospaced shapes into a more ominous, eerie register.
The design appears intended to merge the functional cadence of a monospaced, typewriter-inspired skeleton with deliberately degraded contours to evoke age, tension, and threat. The consistent fixed-width rhythm keeps it readable while the ragged stroke edges deliver the thematic personality.
Spacing is mechanically even (fixed-width), which reinforces a rhythmic, staccato texture in running text. The distressed contouring is strong enough to read as intentional texture rather than printing noise, and it becomes more prominent at larger sizes where the edge variation is more visible.
