Rough typewriter serif with broken rounded feet and uneven contours
Erased Typewriter 2
Erased Typewriter 2 is a distressed typewriter serif in which the rounded slab feet break at the edges, small patches go missing from the bowls and the contours stay uneven, so a line reads as an old typed impression rather than a clean slab.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Erased Typewriter 2.
The E sets three uneven arms, the r carries a short ragged shoulder, the a closes a worn bowl and every foot ends in a rounded slab that loses a corner here and there, with the wear spread thinly rather than clustered. The thin wear is the character: it looks like a tired ribbon instead of a filter, which is why the sample spaces three short parts wide on a dark ground. Because the marks are small, the face wants 30 pt before they read as intent and not as print failure, and it is best printed rather than cut small in vinyl. The red ground and the numeral are presentation; the orange lettering is the face.

Label for a small letterpress shop
The worn slab suits a letterpress card, and the ragged feet stay legible at 20 pt on an 80 mm label printed in one dark ink.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an 80 by 50 mm label: set the shop name at 20 pt, keep 6 mm of border so the ragged edges are not trimmed, and set the service line at 8 pt beneath.
Pre-production check
Wear printed at 14 pt reads as a dirty plate; check the proof and keep the name at 18 pt or above.
Feature title for an archive story
The typewriter tone suits a documentary feature, and the even stroke keeps a three-word title readable at 42 pt across a column.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 mm page: set the title at 42 pt across two rows, set the standfirst at 11 pt in a serif beneath with 12 mm of clear ground, and keep the block on a plain band.
Pre-production check
Ragged edges printed against body text look like noise; check the page and keep 10 mm of clean space below the block.
Tag for a thank-you parcel
The worn lettering suits a kraft tag, and the slab feet stay solid at 18 pt on a 40 mm card that carries a punched hole.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 40 by 80 mm tag: set the line at 18 pt, punch a 4 mm hole 10 mm from the top, and keep 8 mm of clear card between the hole and the tallest letter.
Pre-production check
A ragged foot printed next to a punched hole looks like a tear; check the die and keep 6 mm of clearance.
