A heavy slab-serif display face with compact proportions, vertical stress, and a hand-printed, worn texture. Strokes are thick with pronounced contrast created by irregular inking and carved-looking interior nicks, giving counters a mottled, uneven edge. Terminals and serifs are blocky and slightly flared, with squarish shoulders and occasional wedge-like cuts that make the outlines feel chipped and tactile. Spacing reads on the tight side with sturdy silhouettes and a slightly uneven rhythm that reinforces the distressed print character.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where the distressed texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, logotypes, packaging labels, and event or promotional graphics. It works especially well when you want a strong silhouette with an aged print flavor; for small sizes or dense body text, the interior wear and tight rhythm may reduce clarity.
The overall tone is rugged and nostalgic, evoking old posters, stamped packaging, and showbills. Its rough ink feel adds a gritty, analog energy that can read as Western, carnival, or industrial depending on color and layout. The texture injects personality and a bit of mischief, making it feel more handmade than mechanical.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect letterpress or stamped printing—combining sturdy slab-serif structure with deliberate wear, uneven ink, and chipped contours. The goal is a bold, attention-grabbing display face that brings instant period texture and a tactile, handmade impression to modern layouts.
Uppercase forms are particularly sturdy and poster-ready, while lowercase maintains the same textured logic with simplified, chunky construction. Numerals follow the same worn, blocky model and stay visually consistent in weight and texture, supporting bold headlines and price/number callouts.
