A heavy, blocky slab-serif design with broad proportions, squared terminals, and assertive, poster-like letterforms. The interior is punctured with irregular cutouts and scratches that create a worn, printed texture; these knockouts appear across stems, bowls, and crossbars, producing a broken-ink look while keeping the outer silhouette largely intact. Curves are compact and sturdy (notably in O/Q and numerals), with firm vertical stress and consistent, chunky stroke endings that read as display-oriented rather than text-focused.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-format signage where the distressed interior can be appreciated. It can also work for product packaging, event titles, and logo wordmarks that want a rugged, old-print or western-industrial voice. For long passages or small UI text, the heavy weight and interior knockouts may reduce clarity.
The overall tone feels rough and workmanlike—part vintage poster, part weathered stencil—suggesting grit, dust, and loud signage. The distressed knockouts add a handmade, timeworn character that reads as bold, rowdy, and slightly rebellious rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a bold slab foundation, then add personality through irregular internal cutouts that mimic worn letterpress, scraped paint, or distressed stencil printing. The goal is a loud display face that feels tactile and vintage rather than clean and geometric.
The texture is dense enough that small sizes may lose internal detail, while larger sizes emphasize the cutout pattern and the strong slab framework. Uppercase and lowercase share the same muscular build, with a small, sturdy lowercase that keeps counters tight and shapes compact; numerals match the same chunky, sign-paint feel.
