A heavy, serifed display face with compact proportions and prominent bracketed serifs. Strokes are thick and mostly steady, but the contours show deliberate roughness and “inked” texture—irregular edges, scuffed counters, and slightly uneven fills that mimic worn printing. Letterforms lean on traditional, poster-like structures (notably in the caps), while spacing and widths vary enough to create a lively, non-uniform rhythm in words. Numerals and lowercase share the same distressed, ink-press character, with round forms showing mottled interiors and straight stems exhibiting occasional waviness.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and short phrases where the rough print character can read clearly. It also works well for packaging, labels, and signage that aim for an old-time, craft, or utilitarian feel, especially when paired with simple supporting typography.
The overall tone feels vintage and rugged, like type pulled from an old broadside or a well-used letterpress forme. Its rough inking and scuffed shapes add a handmade, nostalgic grit that reads as bold and theatrical rather than refined.
The design appears intended to evoke historical display typography with an intentionally imperfect, print-worn finish. Its sturdy serif structures provide strong readability for display, while the distressed texture supplies atmosphere and personality.
In text settings the distress pattern stays consistent across glyphs, producing strong texture at larger sizes and a darker, more irregular color at smaller sizes. The face favors headline use where the worn details can be appreciated and the slightly uneven rhythm becomes part of the charm.
