A heavy, slab-serif display face with compact proportions, rounded corners, and pronounced bracketed serifs. Strokes are dense and confident, with lively internal erosion: counters and fills are peppered with irregular speckles and chips that mimic worn ink or distressed printing. Letterforms lean on classic woodtype structure—broad bowls, sturdy stems, and simplified joins—while the distress pattern remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, keeping an even rhythm in text despite the roughened interiors.
Best suited to large-scale settings where the distressed texture can be appreciated—posters, display headlines, storefront signage, labels, and themed packaging. It also works well for event promotions and title treatments that want a vintage-print or saloon-poster flavor with strong impact.
The overall tone feels nostalgic and hands-on, like inked poster type pulled from well-used blocks. The distress adds grit and motion, giving the face a lively, slightly chaotic energy that reads as rugged, approachable, and theatrical rather than refined.
The design appears aimed at delivering classic slab/woodtype authority while adding a controlled, repeatable wear pattern to evoke age, ink scatter, and rough presswork. It prioritizes bold silhouettes and legibility first, with texture as a secondary layer for atmosphere and character.
The erosion is concentrated inside strokes and counters more than along outer contours, so silhouettes stay strong at distance while texture emerges up close. Numerals follow the same bold slab construction, pairing well with the letters for headlines that include pricing, dates, or numbering.
