A heavy, inky serifed mono with irregular, softened outlines that mimic worn typewriter impressions. Strokes are chunky and low-contrast, with rounded terminals, slight notches, and occasional blotting that creates uneven counters and edges. The rhythm is steady and cell-like, with consistent character widths and sturdy verticals that keep lines aligned while allowing organic variation in each glyph’s contour.
Works best for posters, headlines, labels, and title treatments where a distressed typewriter look adds atmosphere and authenticity. It can also support short editorial callouts or pull quotes when you want a strong, gritty texture rather than pristine body-text neutrality.
The overall tone feels tactile and analog—like text struck through a ribbon onto porous paper. Its uneven edges and dark mass convey a gritty, lived-in character that reads as archival, utilitarian, and slightly ominous.
Designed to capture the character of mechanical typing with visible wear and ink spread, prioritizing tactile texture and mood over clean precision. The monospaced structure suggests utilitarian composition, while the distressed contours provide a deliberately aged, cinematic edge.
Counters tend to be tight and sometimes partially pinched by ink gain, which boosts texture at display sizes but can reduce clarity in small settings. Numerals and capitals carry the same roughened treatment, helping headings and short bursts of text feel cohesive and intentionally imperfect.
