A slab-serif design with broad proportions and stout, blunt serifs that read as square-cut and firmly planted. Strokes show mild, organic irregularity, with subtly wavy outlines and uneven terminals that mimic ink spread or impression wear rather than geometric precision. Curves are slightly faceted, counters are open, and joins are sturdy, producing a dark, steady color on the line without feeling strictly monoline. Overall spacing and widths feel lively and inconsistent in a natural way, reinforcing a handmade or printed texture while keeping letterforms clearly legible.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where character and texture are desirable, such as posters, book covers, packaging, and editorial pull quotes. It can also work for themed body copy when generous size and line spacing preserve clarity and let the textured edges read as a feature rather than noise.
The tone is vintage and workmanlike, evoking typewriter copy, old catalog printing, or rubber-stamp grit. Its uneven edges add warmth and personality, making text feel informal and tactile rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to blend sturdy slab-serif structure with a deliberately imperfect, print-worn surface, delivering a readable face that feels analog and lived-in. It prioritizes personality and texture while retaining clear, traditional letterform cues.
The numerals and capitals carry a particularly strong, poster-friendly presence, while lowercase maintains readability with a slightly rustic rhythm. The overall texture suggests deliberate distressing or print artifacts, giving blocks of text a distinctive, textured voice.
