Author's note

Rough Typewriter Bold by Jason Arthur is a free old-school digital display font modeled on hard-used typewriter text. Its broad letters carry blunt slab serifs, irregular edges, and scattered gaps where the ink appears to skip. The weight is dark and emphatic.

Designers working with archival, underground, or crime-fiction themes will find it suited to book covers, gig posters, and game graphics. The battered printing effect can suggest a police file, a homemade flyer, or a document passed through many hands. Across those uses, the rough impressions turn wording into part of the period texture rather than clean digital type.
