A heavy, slab‑serif letterform with compact, sturdy proportions and a largely upright stance. The outlines are intentionally irregular, with rough, chipped edges and uneven ink spread that creates a worn, printed texture. Strokes are thick and assertive with simplified, blocky terminals; counters remain open enough for readability despite the distressed perimeter. Spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handmade/printed-imperfect rhythm rather than a strictly uniform mechanical feel.
Well-suited to display use where texture is a feature: posters, flyers, record/album artwork, packaging, and label-style graphics. It can also work for short bursts of copy in themed layouts (e.g., pull quotes or section headers) where a rough, printed character is desired.
The font conveys a gritty, utilitarian tone—suggestive of aged printing, stamped labels, and rough production. Its texture reads as tough and tactile, adding urgency and character while still staying recognizable and direct.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect ink transfer and surface wear while keeping robust, slab‑serif structures for clarity. It balances strong silhouettes with a deliberately eroded finish to add atmosphere without losing legibility.
The distressing appears consistent across the set, affecting both exterior contours and some interior shapes, which gives large text a strongly textured color on the page. Uppercase forms feel especially poster-ready, while lowercase retains a sturdy, workmanlike presence.
