A heavy slab-serif display face with compact proportions, squared terminals, and sturdy vertical stems. The letterforms are intentionally roughened: edges wobble slightly, counters show patchy “ink bite,” and interior texture suggests worn type or uneven letterpress printing. Curves are broad and simplified, with strong, blocky joins and occasional asymmetry that creates an irregular rhythm across words. Numerals match the chunky, poster-oriented construction and carry the same distressed surface.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, product labels, packaging callouts, and signage where texture and personality are assets. It can also work for themed titles or pull quotes when you want a vintage printed mood, but the distressed detailing makes it less appropriate for small-size, long-form reading.
The overall tone is bold and nostalgic, evoking old posters, handbills, and well-used signage. Its worn texture adds grit and approachability, balancing theatrical punch with a handmade, imperfect charm.
The design appears intended to mimic bold slab-serif wood type or metal type with age and imperfect impression, delivering a strong silhouette while embedding print-wear texture for instant atmosphere.
Spacing appears slightly uneven by design, reinforcing the analog, printed feel. The texture becomes more noticeable at larger sizes, where the irregular counters and edge wear read as deliberate character rather than noise.
