A monospaced serif design with typewriter-like proportions and a firmly upright stance. Strokes show visibly rough, irregular edges and occasional hollowed spots, creating the feel of worn metal type or degraded printing. Serifs are blunt and squared-off with slightly uneven terminals, while curves (notably in C, G, O, and e) appear a bit lumpy and imperfect, reinforcing the distressed texture. The rhythm is steady and mechanical due to fixed character widths, but the distressed contouring introduces organic variation across letters and numerals.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium text where a distressed typewriter voice is desirable—such as posters, title cards, book covers, product packaging, and editorial callouts. It can also work for themed interfaces or props (forms, labels, notes) where monospaced alignment is useful and the worn-print effect adds atmosphere.
The font conveys a rugged, analog tone—evoking old correspondence, archival paperwork, and gritty reproduction. Its imperfect imprint reads as tactile and weathered, balancing utilitarian clarity with a deliberately roughened attitude that can feel suspenseful or industrial depending on context.
The design appears intended to mimic a monospaced typewriter face that has been aged or degraded through wear, uneven inking, or rough reproduction. It prioritizes a consistent, mechanical grid while introducing deliberate edge erosion and texture to create a convincingly analog, distressed impression.
In paragraph settings the texture becomes more pronounced, creating a speckled, slightly noisy color on the line. The numerals match the same worn imprint, with recognizable silhouettes and consistent spacing that supports tabular or code-like alignment while keeping the distressed character prominent.
