Internationalization issues, somehow? I'm with telly, though. The basic problem with a font like this is that you can't use the same character twice, at least not close together. When you do it's like breaking the fourth wall. Well I, for one, couldn’t get it to install — something about “font is missing or damaged”. Internationalization issues, somehow?

The random erasure or weight differences can work well for a typewriter font, to emulate the wear of the metal ("the E doesn't work"), less so when it imitates a letterpress; this kind, with the random pen strokes through the characters, I just don't understand at all.

If they ever get a gig, anyway...
