A heavy, chunky display face with rounded massing and blunt, slab-like terminals. Letterforms are built from broad strokes with soft corners and slightly uneven contours, while a consistent speckled wear pattern and small internal voids create a printed, weathered look. Counters are generally compact, and the overall silhouette feels sturdy and compact, with a lively, irregular rhythm that keeps repeated shapes from feeling mechanical.
Well suited to posters, event graphics, brand marks, and packaging that benefit from a rugged, screen-printed or letterpress flavor. It performs best in short headlines and large-scale applications where the texture can be seen clearly, and can add character to badges, labels, and merchandise graphics.
The font projects a warm, rustic energy—part old poster, part handmade stamp—balancing friendliness with a roughened toughness. Its distressed texture adds grit and nostalgia, giving headlines a lived-in, slightly mischievous tone rather than a polished or corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver strong, attention-grabbing display typography with a deliberately worn print finish. It aims for an approachable vintage feel—sturdy shapes first, then distressing layered on to suggest age, ink spread, and imperfect production.
Distressing is present across most glyphs, showing as scattered pinholes and scuffed edges rather than extreme deformation, so the basic forms remain legible at display sizes. The caps and lowercase share the same stout construction, with a notably bold presence in curved letters and numerals that read as rounded blocks.
